News from India

I want to let you know about a wonderful thing that is happening here in the Tibetan colony at Clementown, where is one of the homes of the Tibetan Children’s Education Fund. They are chanting one billion “OM MONI PADME HUM’S” for world peace! Everyday, between 6:00am and 6:00pm, people are gathered outside, chanting. The priests are chanting over a PA system, but everyone else is sitting out under his little shade, chanting on his own. At the end of the day, each submits his count, which is added to the total. People who are working during those hours come home and chant between 6:00 and 10:00pm, and then submit their counts to the whole. It all started last week, and reminded me of the saying, “None of us is as strong as all of us.”

I also received one of the best compliments ever. A person on our tour remarked that the children at the hostel “didn’t look poor enough to need sponsorship.” Now I call that a success story–what comes of 30 years of being consistent with kids! We are looking now to help some more of our graduating class get into University, for that is really required these days in India.

Biggest and Brightest Full moon tonight

Tonight’s full moon will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. The moon’s orbit around Earth is not a circle but rather an ellipse. One side of the orbit is 31,070 miles closer than the other. In each orbit, the moon reaches the closest point to us, called the perigee. Tonight the perigee coincides with a full moon that is 14% wider and 30% brighter than lesser full Moons of the year. The moon is in Virgo so cast your best wishes for your friends and family around the world. Jai!
