AWAKENING THE ARHATS- MAY 2006

Rinpoche kindly filled, blessed, and 'awakened' the Abbey's 17 Arhat statues residing now in the Meditation Hall. (See the arhats when they arrived November 2004 >>)
Filling the Statues took a lot of hands
How many Buddhists does it take to fill a statue?
Now where was that one little mantra?
Eric Swaggerty & Sally Taylor put on the finishing touches (gluing the bottoms)...
Almost ready...
Meanwhile, outside the Meditation hall, a lovely rainbow mist is gathering over the valley...
At long last, the 16 Arhats (and 1 Attendant) are Awakened!
Each face has such character....

Each one has a story...

...with a happy ending
