October 26th...Obstacles, Devotion and Faith...


This photo is from April 15th...Norbu screaming in frustration as it became clear our method for removing paint from the Enlightenment Stupa wasn't working...our stripper just didn't penetrate it. For those who have not been following since then, we ended up spending a month sand blasting it! It was heavy, labor intensive, dirty work. But we did it.

So why bring this up now? Well, while I worked at the hospital today Ani Rene and a team attempted to complete painting the Stupa Park. There's the key word, attempted. Ani Rene reports the paint isn't working. Not only did it run, but it didn't adhere. She's guessing the temperatures were a factor, but she also said a closer inspection of already painted Stupas revealed bubbles and paint coming off already, like it never really stuck in the first place there in all places either. So, we're scrambling for a plan B...

Don't worry though...we'll find one. For those of us working on the Stupas, it is our practice. We recognize obstacles as an indication we're getting close to accomplishing something!Posted by Picasa
