The guardian at this meeting was Pema Pera and the comments are his.
It was an hour past midnight, SL time, and I was quitly sitting outside the tea house. Nobody stopped by, which by now is quite an unusual happening. For a full week, or 28 sessions, this was the first time I found myself alone, though I heard from Storm and Caledonia that they too had a session in which they were the only ones.
I reflected on how satisfying it is to visit the tea house. As many
people have commented, there is a special atmosphere there. The beauty
and simplicity of the building and its interior, and whatever else
there is in addition, it all helps to sooth the mind. And whether I am
there alone, with one other person, or with a group, in each case the
place has something special to offer. The one-on-one discussions often
get deeper into a topic, with the larger group discussions typically
bring in more points of view — and both of these are valuable.
And when I am here by myself, it seems as if the walls still
reverberate from the many rich conversations that have taken place
here, during the 130 or so PaB sessions that they have witnessed, since
April 1st.
