We kept 8 precepts, which means we ate only 2 meals a day,
no dinner. Yet, I put on so much weight. Result of happiness, gratitude and
very good appetite there.
Lunch was buffet style where we’ve brown rice/pasta, few
vegetables dishes, garden salad, western dessert, cake, ice cream and assorted
fresh fruit. Even homemade Chilli. Simply delicious and cooked by Michelle, the
75yo hired cook (her last time cooking there, retiring) for 60 retreatants with
some helps from the retreatants on assigned duties.
I helped with cutting vegetable from 7-8am on some days
after the morning meditation and before the morning dharma talk. The vibe was
so peaceful and such a pleasant experience. Seeing all working in harmony and
noble silence. What’s a pleasure! Rejoice.
Ps: No dinner, but at 5.30pm tea time, chocolate, candy and cheese
will be served.
