The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
KPC and it’s stupas are an excellent pilgrimage. Someday we will have meditation huts for those that attend Palyul summer program in N.Y. who seek a place to practice the rest of the year. We will start with camping. And it’ll be rough. Pilgrimages are supposed to be! It will take time, as does everything we want quickly.
We need volunteers to clear land. I hope to have retreat camps near the stupas for all serious practioners all year.
When we run dry spiritually, intense practice and pilgrimage to Holy places are especially helpful. As are teachings and empowerments.
Don’t deny your spiritual requirements. Take care of business -say- family, then take care with your path. And pay it forward. Always pay it forward….

Rejoicing! Remembering my joy as a new student in discovering the sacred place of pilgrimage in the KPC Stupa and Peace Park. Grateful now for the reminder and the opportunity to help make sure this place is available for others. Family responsibilities, yes, and spiritual responsibilities even more so.
Excellent.
Pay it Forwards. This really resonates – this mantra, and the intention of our Lama to build retreat camps. Possibly not for me in this life … but … pay it forwards and if not for me, then certainly for others. However it plays out, sentient beings benefit.
