It rained here this afternoon putting fresh snow on the surrounding mountains. It can cool down quickly especially when a wind comes up. Tonight there is a local cultural show at Deer Park for the enjoyment of the conference participants, probably the group least likely to enjoy such an event.The conference has been pretty amazing with so many people that I know and many people that I have heard about for years but never met.
Yesterday Khyentse Rinpoche gave an amazing speech, a call to arms, inspiring, uplifting and directed towards a singular goal - the translation of the Kangyur, Tangyur and the Tibetan writings and commentarial collections within 100 years. We spent the rest of the day working out a 100 year mission statement, then a 25 year plan and statement, and then a 5 year action plan. Fifty translators all in agreement is a rare thing.
