Samantha! Thank you so much for your kind words AND for taking a look at my blog. I sure look forward to hearing your thoughts as I go along. When I first began, I was kind of scared of getting feedback, figuring I was already self-conscious enough about what I'm doing but now I find it actually helps quite a bit to hear from folks from time to time.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to write.

Marley

Monastic retreat: arriving

The truths of Buddhism are living truths and they cannot be handed to us by anyone. They must be discovered and experiences by each and every one of us.

Master Hsing Yun
Buddhism, Pure and Simple


It was the kind of summer day that burns out power grids when I walked through the entrance shrine with its five enlightened beings and back out into the sunny courtyard of the Hsi Lai ("shee lai") Temple and monastery in Hacienda Heights for the Eight Precept Retreat, eight days, seven nights.
