The group at Shivani Ji's house, just before leaving for Delhi

Back in Delhi, we toured around the city and went to a few monuments including India gate in the background which was built to honor the Indian soldiers who died during WWI and the Afghan Wars

We also went to south Delhi to visit the Lotus temple of the Baha'i faith

During our intro to Buddhism retreat we had a daily karma yoga job: turning and mixing soil in the Deer Park compound

Haley, Margie, and other Deer Park visitors hard at work. We have received word that they are now starting to plant trees and small shrubs.
