The Aryaloka Parks and Rec Team came indoors last week to give the kitchen a fresh coat of paint! This is in preparation to receive the new fridge that we fundraised for at end-of-year. We should be receiving the new fridge within the next month or so. The new lighting for the yoga room is in process and we'll have some pics of that soon.
Thanks to our volunteers on the Kitchen Team who cleared the kitchen out and put it all back together! And thanks to Parks and Rec for painting!
We have a new Buddha rupa at Aryaloka! Thanks to Eddie Langlois for this generous gift! She is a multi-armed form of Kuan Yin, carved from wood. Traces of the original paint are still visible. She is very delicate (please do not touch). You’ll really notice her presence next time you enter the yoga room.
How wonderful that she returns to a context of intensive Buddhist practice! We’ll be planning a big event in the near future to properly welcome her.
