Over the years people have always asked what we eat while at this monastery. “Vegetarian” is always my response. But then the next question is what type of vegetables? Below are some photos of a typical meal. Of course there are only about 20 people here at the moment. By Sunday night there will be ten times that amount.
Mixed vegetables
Rice
Salad
Homemade potato chips

In 2015 there was a large earthquake in Nepal. It damaged the oldest gompa here beyond repair and had to be torn down. They have almost finished building the new one and is useable enough that we will be the first group to use it. It is larger than the last one and will accomadate up to 280 people.

Boudha Stupa. 45 minute walk away (longer for me) or a ten minute taxi ride on the famous Nepali road system.
Peru - The Amazon 
It worked perfectly. Awesome!
