Hi Friends,

Just a quick hello from Sravasti Abbey. The gardens are quite beautiful this year....

We celebrated Saka Dawa by doing a Nyung Na retreat, and enjoyed teachings with Venerable Chodron on His Holiness' book How to See Yourself As You Really Are over Memorial day weekend. Lately I've beeen involved in various activities from writing letters to inmates, varnishing pillars, collecting teachings on pre and post ordination training, unpacking the kangyur and tengyur that arrived from DFF, as well as doing some informal tutoring on tenets. The days are full of Dharma without much time to waste. Looks like I'll be teaching at an FPMT center in Missoula in October.

Your Dharma friend,
Tsepal
