I went to Hsi Lai temple today for Sangha Day. I’ve been to Sangha Day a number of times over the last few years. It’s one of the ‘big three’ holidays for us Buddhists. Even if you are not a buddhist, I recommend going, it’s quite an amazing site to see.

This year was a particularly special year. Venerable Master Hsing Yun was there to lead the ceremony. Even at 80 years old, he gets himself all around the world. I can only hope when I’m his age I have half his will to continue. It’s amazing.

Seeing all the Venerables walk around the temple is quite humbling. I’m not positive how to describe it and don’t think I would find the correct words for it, but, hey. Here is my favorite shot of the day.

The smile on Venerable Miao Hsi’s face is wonderful. Sure does make me smile.

take care. Amitofo.

We had a great time today. A lot of our friends got to come over and hang out, eat, and watch the fireworks. The traditional group photo is the biggest it’s ever been!

We’ve added a bunch of today’s pictures to the photo gallery, but I just had to post this one in today’s entry - it’s so cool.

thank you everyone for such a fun time.

WOW this is cool. The Disney Experience has a papercraft model you can print out - and make your own Pirate ship!!! (Chris, better get busy) hahaha

As a follow up to Dawn’s last post, it looks like Inside the Magic has a nice Quicktime file of the new parts of the ride. Unfortunately, it appears to be from Walt Disney World.
