Thanks go out this week to Bill Judge, long time member and documentary filmmaker, for giving us copies of "Path to Geshe." Bill traveled to Sera Jey Monastery in 1993 and opened the door to life in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. "A moment's silence, followed by the sound of feet padding through the narrow streets, the rustling of robes...then slowly, in unison, the voices of 2500 monks in prayer rises through the stillness."
Thank you Bill for your gift of filmmaking and for your generous donation available to all in our lobby!
