We have Khenpo Norgye coming next week to give teachings and empowerments (October 18th - 25th, see the KPC Maryland website for details!). The Stupa Crew is also, for now at least, the Statue Crew here at the temple. We've had some statues on hand for months waiting to be filled (a very long, detailed process). James is going around collecting some cedar leaves for us, part of the offerings needed for this process. With a teacher coming to give empowerment, we're trying to get some of the statues ready, so they can be empowered while Khenpo is here...
