REJOICING AND GIVING THANKS - 2006

While Venerable Chodron is traveling, Venerable Tarpa and Nanc host a very special Thanksgiving.

Barbara and Tracy prepared delicious meals for the retreatants.
Yusuke, one of the abbey’s monthly volunteers gave himself a birthday present by attending the retreat. He found the silence a great gift!
Venerable Tarpa who shared her thoughts on rejoicing during the retreat shares a quiet moment with the Buddha.
With the abbey’s first good snowstorm, it was hard not to track the snow into the buildings. Here Tsundru shakes out the mat to the meditation hall.
Barbara, a member of the Friends of Sravasti board sets up the water bowls early in the morning before everyone arrives. It’s a wonderful time to be with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Katherine takes an opportunity to study between meditation sessions. It was her first abbey retreat.

There are smiles all around as the participants gather for a group photo before heading home.
