Vajrapani Retreat Center: find the plastic; win a prize!
Vajrapani Institute is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery nestled in the Santa Cruz mountains. Care for the earth and all its creatures is one of its core practices, to the extent that the members try as much as possible to avoid killing even insects. This is where I spent the weekend, sitting in silence, listening to the birds, showering among the trees, and just having a moment to breath.
I love taking pictures, so on the last day of the retreat, I snapped a few to share with you. But so as not to lose the theme of this blog, let’s make a little contest. Who can identify a large mass of plastic hidden within one of these photos? Next week, I’ll reveal the winner and also discuss the ramifications of this type of plastic and its use. But for now, just enjoy. You can click on each photo to see a larger version.
One person has guessed the answer I was looking for. But others may be right about some plastic, too. I’ll post the answer as well as some thoughts about it next week. Leaving for the “No Plastic Left Behind” conference in Southern Cal in a few hours. See you!
You guys are good! I didn’t even noticed that little green thing in the fountain. But remember, I said it’s a large mass of plastic. So think big.
