On Sunday my old mates Steven and Stephen took me to the Vijayaloka Buddhist Retreat Centre Open Day. It's just the most beautiful, peaceful place - simple buildings in the bush, all of it obviously much loved and cared for by the sangha or religious community. There was a talk, chanting, meditation, a pot luck lunch, and a dance lesson which was a hoot. Plus kids who wrote a fantastic rain poem, and three small friendly dogs who won everyone's hearts. :-)
