Woo, hoo! Sweeeeet!I have internet access from my room! My room is one floor up and directly above the commons area-- the internet is seeping into Room 18, my dorm. So, one quick post here before heading off to the lectures on evolution that will be finishing up today. The daily schedule is breakfast at 7:30 followed by two 90 minute sessions by faculty in the morning (with a half hour tea break), followed by lunch at 12:30 and sessions beginning again at 2:30 that run until 6:00 p.m. Dinner is at 7:30. The days end with an hour Q/A and the questions that the monks and nuns are asking are stellarly insightful. It's amazing that they are so able to maintain focus on the work and content for all day each day and for many of them, do this through a translator.
Yesterday I took a photo from where the faculty sit at the back of the room so here you can get a sense of what the space is configured like. I am still getting used to this camera so hope to get some better pics to post later.
