THE BUDDHA ARRIVES!
THE SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA STATUE "TOUCHES" THE ABBEY GROUNDS

These are from the day the statue arrived at the abbey. The UPS man know the crate contained a Buddha statue. He was very interested and stayed to help us pry open the crate and clean off the confetti it was packed in. He then helped us carry it in the house. We invited him to the consecration, but he had to work and asked us to send him pictures of it, which we did. That's the UPS man in the blue jacket.
