Free Day!

Today was a freeday for all of us. It began in the morning with some of our English student friends. They took some of us to a pagoda near the outskirts of Hue. It was amazing. There was a ceremony going on for a student who just recently took his own life due to having an incurable illness. All of our prayers go out to him.

In the courtyard were orchards with trees growing fruits for the monks to eat. The establishment had been around since the 1600's, built by the Chinese. It was wonderful seeing monks doing the same things that they were doing 400 years ago. The architecture was amazing and you felt felt such a sense of peace walking within its walls.

Members of the group went seperate ways throughout the day, getting ready for the week to come.

Thanks for tuning in.
