meditation center

The meditation center is located on the down side of the mountain. You go up the stairs or elevator and then down past the monk lodging and barking dogs and over a pulling for hauling construction materials. I think i was one of the few that did not text etc . but I had made a decision to take a few pictures before I left. I could not get the DROID to cut the flash for the one picture I wanted was the scene of Chaingmai at night. During the day there is haze but at night wonderful lights.
So this was my lavish room.  A bed with a mattress harder than my bungalow and some sitting pillows for meditation in the room. Not much to dust. A pad cover and a blanket.


I did some sitting and walking in the room but mostly in the chapel or meditation hall shown below.
The room was in a two story building with 5 rooms on each floor and a shower and toilets at the end of the hall. Two buildings for men and 2 women.

Yes it is hilly and constant steps.  The building in the back is the eating floor 7 and 11am and the meditation hall and the dharma talk and chanting room.

Great pictures of the meditation center. You're a stronger person than I. I'm sure that I couldn't stay quiet/still for that long.

Lookin' forward to having you home.

 Wow, it is easy to slip into a similar pattern to what I had at home. I produced a plan to change many things - delete more emails, eat hea...
