Late update on my visit to the Wat in Temecula.
Today, I was up early to go with my girlfriend and my aunt to make some offerings to the monks at the nearest temple. We offered fruit and some baked goods. His dhamma talk was excellent.
I wish I could summarize it easily, but alas, I can't. We talked about happiness and suffering, patience, power, strength, and mental discipline. At the end he exhorted all of us to rely on ourselves, not on blessings or offerings to make our way to nibbāna and extended an invitation to me to come and meditate with them overnight the next time I'm in California.
A picture of me was snapped while I was there that I love so much I've decided to make it my userpic.
May all beings be happy and free from suffering.
