Gwan Yin Chi and A BLACKOUT!!!!!





The Sunday of the Gwan Yin Chi was very fun. Many people came. Some of us boys did the Three Steps One Bow. Although half of the dorm was gone that week we still had fun. The other half of the dorm went to Sacremento for Honoring elders over there. It was very cold in the morning but I could feel the chi in everybody. Just a very good vibe. During the week of the session there was a major blackout in the City. We had no power for Breakfest. Everybody woke up late though because all our alarm clocks did not go off. The breakfest was nice because it was so old fashined. We were so ecstatic because this was the first time we had a candle breakfast sort of like Hogwarts.LOL I went to cermony that day and it was so cool. They used the backup generator. Nobody could read the words in the Pu Men Pin so we used flashlights. This cermony was like no other I have ever seen because of the lighting. I felt very cool and comfortable. Altholugh I could not read the words I had to hold the book close up to my face in order for me to see the words.

Although power outages are no bueno, I WISH I COULD BE THERE! A Hogwarts like breakfast is soooo awesome, not to mention a black-out session in th Buddha Hall! I remember a couple years back there was another power outage and I can't remember which ceremony it was (meal offering I think) and boy, it was SOOOO DARK! But so much fun, ironically XD

Nice pictures and updates, BROther :)
