Sunny today with a strong wind. We could hear the clink of the ropes against the flag poles during morning meditation. Fortunately this was soon covered by early morning birdsong.
Last night we met Venerables Miao Fun and Hui Ping and gave them a traditional Aussie greeting :)
This morning all go with set up of the Main Shrine for opening ceremony. Group leaders getting briefings.
Today's photo is of the front of Nan Tien. The steps lead to the front Shrine.
