So did you ever want to take a trip to a Buddhist Meditation Retreat Center?
Well come along...

This 6 minute Videoblog is from a trip I just took up there. Great place! - And yes, Buddhists drink beer!

Video is here: Quicktime or Windows Media

Cheers

Posting this from an email:

I couldn't leave a comment on your blog without a blogger account, so I
am writing you an email.

I really like your videos. I have had a growing curiousity in buddhism
for a while now, and seeing your videos on that topic were really
interesting.

I liked your film on buying local food, also.

This is great stuff. I love seeing a growing diversity of viewpoints as
videblogging is catching on.

Just wanted to say "hi" and ask to you keep it up. I will be watching.

A very interesting tour... how many individuals were at the retreat at one time?

It was creative and held my attention well.

I enjoyed the tour very much.

Hello DU,

Thanks for the comment. There can be anywhere from 5 - 225 people up there for programs.

Since that post I have gone back! This means there will be a new movie soon on Dorge Denma Ling soon...

Hey, it's Arne's granddaughter..

Interesting video. Buddhism is big in NS, isn't it?

That Ellen Page girl, the actor, she went to a Buddhist high school in Halifax, I think.

Hi Kiara,

Was fun meeting you all with Arne!
Yes Buddhism is very big in Nova Scotia.

Ellen Page did go to the Buddhist/Shambhala school in Halifax.

I met her at a Buddhist party once before she got so big. She was very friendly. The thing I remember about her was she had a "presence" about her. Not surprised she made it big.

Ciao
