This image is just too nice not to share. It's not every day you see three Tibetan monks strolling across a New York meadow, and the blending of rain-lush grasses, fluffy clouds in a pale azure sky, and the rainbow umbrella somehow captures the true spirit of this retreat: unhurried, simply colored, striving for exquisite balance:
I hope some of your summer days are feeling like this.

OK, Konnie, playtime is over. It's time to come home now.

Nice pic!
I was up there for the Kalachakra last year.
New York state's climate is great.
I am glad you're enjoying the retreat.

The hills are alive with the sounds of buddhists?

Hi, thought I'd translate those somethings for you:
Lozang Lungtog: Good heart, (Dharmas of) Transmission and realization.
Gonpo Yeshe: Wisdom Protector (or Wisdom Mahakala)
Jampal Gyatso: Manjushri Ocean
Thanks for introducing the new sangha. Let us pray that in the future we will also see some gelongmas there!
