I have a new blog and this is my first post! I’m pretty excited about it. My old blog just wasn’t cutting it. It was out of commission for the latter part of last year. My plan with the new blog is to intersperse important happenings that got missed among my current event posts. The following is an event from not too long ago but it feels a little distant as I sit here with snow covering the ground outside.
Last September I was invited to attend the closing ceremony for the summer cultural school at WAT BUDDHABHAVANA Buddhist Temple in Westford,
Massachusetts. It was such a beautiful event. I love visiting the temple. Everyone there is so welcoming, warm and friendly. Especially the monks. They always make me feel like I’m family.
The little Laotian girls were so sweet and absolutely adorable!
Signs like this one, all with different messages, are hung all around the grounds. I love them.
There was a dedication ceremony for this little, gold Buddha statue.
One of my best friends and me at the ceremony. Another friend, Barbara Peacock was also there and took this lovely photo for us.
If interested, you’ll find more of my photos of the temple posted here.
Thanks so much for checking out my first post! Please feel free to leave a comment. I always welcome and love feedback.
Wishing you much love & happiness!
