vipassana course in montebello

i had a good experience serving another successful vipassana course.

some details to fill in:

challenge of 'surrendering'

this vipassana center, like other ones i have been to, was composting all of their kitchen scraps. one day i had the opportunity to join in taking the load of several medium trash cans over to the farm site. the farm also belongs to the vipassana center, and some of the permanent employees live there. the land is enough i think to produce most of the vegetables for the meals the vipassana center serves at it's courses. there is a need for some coordination and more volunteers to get it started. there are just not enough hands there now.
the compost pile when i came to it was an anaerobic mat with a crusty top. i gave it a makeover,
