at the Kurukulla Center

I watched the Dalai Lama's talk at Middlebury College last week and am still grounded and floating, simultaneously.

Milarepa Festival Day

Watching and meeting the Drepung Monks at the Milarepa Center was a special treat and blessing. The monks are visiting from India and traveling around the country on a World Peace Tour.  They enchanted us with Tibetan Buddhist ritual chanting and dance- it was powerful.
