Awesome day
Today was one of the best days I’ve had in so long. Little Man and I went to temple in the morning. He had a great time walking around (running) and jumping up the stairs.
After that we went to the Orange Circle and; went to Army Navy to look at the camping gear, hung out at the fountain, went to Hot Skates where one of the guys working there gave him a cool sticker (World Industries, and it looks like a smiley face hellraiser, hahaaha), ate at Watson’s (old diner, great place), then we went and got a cupcake at a new place, Mustard’s I believe.
Then, we came home, watch some Thomas video, played Pac-Man, and had a bath.
what a great way to end one week, and begin the next…
LA Time Festival follow up
April 28th, 2007 • Buddhism, temple
Had a great day at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books today. There was an amazing turn out.
(here’s a shot of our booth - #617)
To help at this each year is something I look forward to. The privilege of discussing Buddhism with people who are interested, and often just beginning as I was years ago is wonderful. Being able to relate to them, to offer what I can to assist in whatever questions they have about the temple, about the books, and of course, about Buddhism makes for such an amazing day.
(Venerable Miao Hsi and I)
Tomorrow I am taking Little Man to the festival so we can enjoy looking at books for him. Even though he has shelves full of books, I hope to bring more home for him - a child can never have too many books.
LA Times Festival of Books 2007
April 27th, 2007 • Buddhism, temple
I will be at the Festival of Books tomorrow. Buddha’s Light Publishing Booth # 617. Come by and say hi. Better yet - come by and buy a book or three. Reading the Dharma explained by Venerable Master Hsing Yun is amazing.
If you’ve never been to the festival, and enjoy books, I highly recommend it. The event covers the entire UCLA main campus.
Hope to see you there.
Dragon Dance
February 19th, 2007 • Buddhism, Life, temple
Here is a little video I shot today at Hsi Lai of the dragon dance. This is something I look forward to at each New Year celebration.
I hope you enjoy.
