 Rajgir Peace Pagoda
At lunch, Nabatame-shonin told me he would be going down to the other Nipponzan Myohoji temple in the village of Rajgir, would have a bath in the hot spring and spend the night at the temple, and told me that if I wanted, I could come with him.
Breakfast was at eight, following Nabatame-shonin's ritual in the temple above, in which I joined him for a part of the time, then strolled out to the great pagoda and around the grounds, then came back to my room and caught up on my journal till lunchtime.
And now we came to the wide, graveled gathering place at the foot of the pagoda itself, which sailed above us in the cloud-scattered blue sky, serenely unaware of our presence.
