Today I've been sewing wagesas ('little kesas' - robes) for Sally and Colin, who will be joining the Amida School soon. I've also printed out instructions so that they can embroider the setting sun with whisps of cloud across it, which is our 'logo', on a square which will sit at the back of the neck. Sally is proficient at embroidery - together we will help Colin. During other summers I've sat under the trees in France helping a number of sangha with this.
This afternoon I've been looking for travel and accommodation information for Ching-Ying, who will be coming to Amida France in July, and booking Formule 1 accomodation in Paris for myself both for my outward and return journeys at the ends of June and July respectively. Now it's time to organise the meditation hall and to continue recording a guided meditation tape for the university staff before the Amida Newcastle group arrive for our meeting at 7:30 pm.
