The Shrine on New Year's Eve
It’s the New Year and a new decade has begun. Despite the weather, with several showers of snow on New Years Eve, our annual forgiveness and aspiration ceremony was well attended by many old friends who have come from the far corners of the country (and beyond). The week has seen a steady flow of guests arriving as we prepared for the ceremony, including Ralph, who will be staying at Kusala House for the next three months and lending his support for the winter. On New Year's Day the snow was heavier than ever with at least five inches, but one determined Sri Lankan family managed to brave the journey and came down from Glasgow to hear the Sangha chant the Parittas during the afternoon. The near future of Harnham will be much of a contrast, as in a few days time we will enter the winter retreat. We will also be bidding farewell to Myke. For the past six months Myke has been doing a terrific job taking care of Kusala House and he will be missed. He is expected to become a guest himself in March to help with our work project, so we can look forward to seeing him again soon. |
