Joshua Mulder
These volunteer work gatherings are always a wonderful time together, as well as an incredible opportunity to work in and around the Great Stupa. Along with uplifting and caring for the stupa and its environment, we will practice, have dharma talks and discussions, and enjoy the peaceful space of the mountains. We will be doing a wide range of projects, including the following: concrete crack repair and painting, fire mitigation, path repair, organizing tools and storage, and more. Good strong backs are very helpful, but not required! We look forward to sharing this precious time with you at the Stupa.
