Karma Yoga

(Beautiful statue in its own little pagoda out front)

So we did Karma Yoga today. This is the yoga of action and we went to this forgotten temple on Samui and helped out. By "forgotten" they mean that tourists don't really know about it and hence don't go visit it. It is still used, however, and monks still live and worship there. We painted the walls and wooden supports of their outhouse and an little stage-like platform in the center.

(Working hard)

The temple itself is beautiful, so we were really lucky to get this chance to see it and be a teeny-tiny part of it. It was so much fun to be working with everyone and it was amazing how quickly we were able to get it all done with everyone pitching in. Makes me want to help out a Habitat for Humanity. Any takers?

It's just too bad the temple was closed so we couldn't go inside.
