New "Permanent" Space Arising in Tacoma
A wonderful opportunity is arising in Tacoma - a big ol' church with too much space and a deal we couldn't refuse. Our wish is that the space will allow the Tacoma branch to grow and help bring peace to many more in Pierce county.
The former school entrance - you can see a nice spot for a welcoming sign.
A new temporary sign to help people find us
The new 'little room' with the shrine nearly done. See the 'before' pictures below.
Over a weekend the Tacoma Sangha Jewels got together for some joyful effort in beginning to prepare the space.

Before: The smaller room where the shrine will go and we can have small classes and puja
We have our supplies and equipment
And Guru Tsongkhapa is with us!
Now is the TIME...
First, we wash the walls...happily
Then it's Primer Time
How many Buddhists does it take to put up a ladder?
Fearless!
We don't call her 'nook and cranny Nettie' for nothing
And now for some color!
Nearly there...
Just add Buddhas
