We assembled in the guest house courtyard.
Everyone dressed in their best robes and clothes.
We walked to the chörten en masse and circumambulated, trying to stay together as a group. We collected a lot of gawkers and photographers.
After a while the group followed Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen through a gate and up onto the chörten.
After this some people followed Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen to the Stupa View restaurant.
Many of the pre-ordained who were having robes made here were allowed to wear them for this occasion. It was great to see so many white skirts.
After this the group dispersed.
But with so many of us it felt like we really did Occupy Bodha.

And now seeing Tony in robes! Too cool!
And Claire also!!!!!!
Yes, really nice.
How wonderful blog, and images. Due to some sort of psychotic madness, I couldn't take part of all that wonderfulness ,and only saw the beginning bit of the flow of the glorious sangha to Boudha. Nevertheless, thank you for the images and stories.
What a Marvelous day! <3 I wish I could have been there to Experience it first-hand but, from the bottom of my Heart, thank you ~ thank you SO MUCH for posting these images so that I could Experience some of it here. (hugs)
Wasn't it in "A streetcar named desire" that Blanche DuBois says "I've always depended on the reflection of strangers"
Are you on strike too or has Happy Valley been taken over?
Safe travels back. We've saved some hot water.
SD, isn't Blanche DuBois an aunt of yours or something?
This is so much fun to see...you describe it so beautifully! This gives a wonderful perspective that I didn't have being in the midst of it all.
