| Two Amandas! So nice to see. |
I sat in the balcony looking at beautiful stained glass window of Amitabha Buddha and felt great peace and contentment. The lay community of moms did a wonderful job of staffing the large event and the arrangement of food on three buffet lines were beautiful. Even the outside tables were decorated with beautiful flowers. I felt really good inside knowing things are well taken care of for large public events aimed at Asian crowds. Thinking back at Henry Rosemont's talk I also felt great relief things are well taken care of for set up and take down by DRBY/IWR crew. It seems like there is consistency and people are well trained and got it together. What a nice change after a decade plus of not being so. It felt really good to not have to worry about things falling through. I felt at peace to finally let my heart accept retirement. As for day to day operation, it's not my problem to worry about anymore.
