From Triratna International Council on Thu, 21 Mar, 2013 - 21:56Vajragupta takes a quick time-out to run through the day’s work as night falls on Nagaloka - the first full set of sessions since we all arrived yesterday from far-flung corners of the globe. The theme of the day was ‘making connections’ - and we had the excellent Maitrisara and Viveka helping us do just that with each other in a variety of helpful ways…

Yashodeva, Sanghadeva and Ajjavin beginning the installation of the Biomass heating system, designed to be carbon neutral and more cost effective than fossil fuels. When we bought the property, we thought ‘well, it will need a lick of paint’. Turned out to need a bit more than that. Mokshapriya explains why here: http://adhisthana.org/video-45-...
