Monks and dogs

We had visitors from California this week: Rev. Master Kinrei Basis, prior at the Berkeley Buddhist Priory (left) and Rev. Master Seikai Luebke, assistant prior at Pine Mountain Buddhist Temple, stopped in for a couple days on their way north to visit fellow monks in the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives in Canada. Elky and Tassel soaked up lots of affection and I think if they'd have fit into Rev. Seikai's luggage he might just have taken them with him.

We had glorious patio-living weather and a good time was had by all.
