On Sunday, August 20th, a group gathered at Shao Shan Temple to go on a Nature Pilgrimage around the Shao Shan Temple land. This was a blessing / gratitude to all the land and buildings for their support of our practice.
The pilgrimage included: the Temple building, the Cemetery, White Jewel Mtn Retreat, the Garden, the Orchard, the Bees, the Sacred Mountain, all the Temple outbuildings and more.
We chanted at each stop, had meditation at the top of White Jewel Mtn and Sacred Mtn and Taihaku gave mini-dharma talks on several occasions.
The program concluded with an outdoor lunch.
Thanks to all who participated and all the land that supports us and our practice!
