Two faces of New Year

Bodhipaksa and Maia
In the morning we went to the funky home of the ever-generous Danakamala, where we socialized and ate delicious food. There were a couple of other girls there, so Maia had a great time. So did I, for that matter. The smoky night club look is an artifact of the very snowy weather — there was light streaming in the windows.

Bodhipaksa meditating

In the afternoon I went to Aryaloka and led a guided meditation for about 20 people, towards the end of the Meditate for Peace Day. The morning apparently was busier, with 45 people in the shrine-room. This picture was actually taken in order to show someone how to use a scarf in order to take the weight off of the shoulders when meditating. I wasn’t really meditating at the time, hence the “pole up my ass” look.
