FRIENDS OF SRAVASTI ABBEY MEETING - DEC 2007 (en Español)

For the second time this year the Friends of Sravasti Abbey (FOSA) gathered to their share ideas and expertise as well as commit their support to Sravasti Abbey as the community begins to unfold the plans for its first monastic residence. Many new faces came this year and made the gathering a fun, creative weekend which culminated in an action plan to support multiple aspects of the monastic residence building project.

Show and tell with Venerable Chodron as she explains the initial design and layout of the new residence


Remodeling the kitchen now will make it possible for the residential community to grow and the number of participants in retreats and courses to increase in the immediate future. After some years, we will build Chenrezig Hall which will house a large kitchen and dining room as well as more guest rooms.


Frederick enjoys some quiet time in the kitchen.
