Today, Vida and I worked in the Garden of 100 Buddhas inthe afternoon. What a fortunate we have reaped to be in the presence of such great teachers as Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche, Khenpo Namchak, Khenpo Sonam, and Khenpo Orygen. The Garden of 1000 Buddhas is a place were the most compassionate people gather to perform a work that will change the world. Each and every person at the Garden is incredibly kind and warm (I have hugged so many people in my life, and that is a good thing). The following image series is from this afternoon.
