Burn off - March 2024

Won Buddhism 2024. 4. 9. 12:12

With many trees in our garden, we have many many branches and sticks that have been collected.

 

With the end of summer, we sought approval, guidance, and advice from the fire department to begin burn-off in stages.

 

We carried out the burn-off on selected days which were not windy and too dry to minimise fire risk.

 

Witnessing the great mass of branches turn to ashes made us contemplate the impermanence of everything in the universe.

 

There are still more branches to burn, which we will continue to do in the near future.

 

If you wish to join us with the burn-off and any gardening work in the future, please contact us.

There is great merit in looking after public space and learning from nature.
