My Photos from Antioch Education Abroad’s Buddhist Studies in India Program 30-Year Anniversary Celebration

Photo by Antioch Education Abroad.
I recently blogged about the 30th Anniversary Celebration for Antioch Education Abroad’s Buddhist Studies in India Program for MahaSangha News. I’ve also talked a lot about the program here: I participated as a student in 1999, and served on the faculty in 2006. Needless to say, I was delighted to be in attendance for the celebration and to reconnect with so many old and dear friends. I just got my pictures developed, and would like to share some of them with you. Take a look below.

Via Dharma Monkey: The Washington Post has a story about what happened when a baby copperhead snake bit Buddhist practitioner Sam Pettengill in his home at Kunzang Palyul Choling, a Vajrayana Buddhist temple near Poolesville, MD. Take a look.
