Today was a delightful day here at Guhyaloka. The community began the day at 9 this morning setting up for the Public Ordinations. Two things needed to happen. One was to make sure we had plenty of food and refreshments to see us through the day. The second was to set up the shrine room. Ahead of schedule the conch was blown and the  Public Ordinations could begin. As Maitreyabandhu said. What better way could we celebrate Buddha Day. Pictures of the new Order members are up on Facebook . The private preceptors will be leaving us tomorrow. The retreat will then settle down to a closed three month Order retreat.
