Last autumn Shao Shan Temple had to remove over 100 Red Pine trees from around the Temple for safety reasons (several of them had fallen on buildings!) We were fortunate that the stumps were almost immediately covered by snow, so that it did not look like a logging site. The stumps are currently being removed and it is becoming more evident how beautiful the open space will be. Those of you participating in today's online meditations have heard the heavy machinery in the background!
