Perhaps this is news to you, or maybe it isn't, but Migyur Dorje Stupa isn't actually finished! And I'm not referring to the unpainted relief...I mean the construction itself is not yet complete! We were told waaay back when it was built that the earth needed to come up to the "earth hugging layer", or the first step. Since then many ideas have been drawn up, many plans discussed, but cost has consistently been a deterring factor. We're running up against the same barriers, but progress in technology has provided us with options not open to our earlier Stupa mates. One such option is the evolution of DIY concrete block...so I headed out to Hardscapes outside Germantown to check out the options...if you'll recall we enlisted Molly to draw up an estimate to have one built for us, but the numbers came in over budget. So we're looking at doing it ourselves (like everything else...)
