Nyom keandara and friend decidedto let go of all they wanted to do today and helped to finish the undertaking of planting, moving stones, sand, inviting others, and at least also inviting some Venerables from the noth monastery.

Nyom Chanroths wife and child joined as well. Later, the brother of the neighbor drove passing, spontaneously joined as well, and even Nyom Chanroth came, gravelly sick from to much joy the last time, leading the invitation of the Devas.

The young monks joined spontaneously the surely unusual undertaking, maybe felt the touch of Devas as well.

Taking precepts at least, all returned home joyfully.

At this time, when it's said that the New Year Deva arrives, usually all gather at home, so it's somehow special that some took part, while all busy.

A lot of letting go and hard work, with it's sure not small fruits.

And Nyom Vilā made about 1GB pictures and videos.Upload now with 1MB/s + from remote area where no house has even a little mobil service.

Going down on alms Nyom keandara just carried water along the way up with friends, rushing fast back to give alms food at the pavilion and to follow the begging round into the village.

Back Nyom Vilā took the occasion to invite to take meal at the pavilion and took all fellows to give the pavilion, of which Atma accepted on behave and for the Sangha.

Eaten, they no went on to invite others to join the planting of a Bodhi tree, to the village chief, maybe inviting other monks to receive tonics in late afternoon and to share blessings.

Since Nyom Vila isn't given to use cell phone, lesser pictures as usual.

May all rejoice with their merits and eager efforts to don't let the Devas and good disappear in their sphere.

In the morning Nyom Vithou s friend and relative and another came up, seemingly after doing some work.

Atma going down for alms, received a meal by Nyom Vithou who waited near the pavilion. Bach up, taken meal, all came up, merely stressed, overnightly, like not even clean from yesterday and asked for tools to clear the path, not really knowing what to do, leaving tonic merely careless at the shrine. Atma after long usual "unfriendly" series of rebukes, took all "weapons" in front of the Ashram and told them to put throw the into the steam when now driving back home. "Atma has no interest on anything, and not a little to join the destruction everywhere for the sake of something already broken. The previous not light minded got even darker.. After a 1/2 h talk on the uselessness of all that, Atma then told them to wait, Atma will go down with them.

Down, actually noting prepared, no material, cement... it turned then into motivation, motivated for what could be made if having this and then, told about all required, all moved on, and went up, fetching tools, back, all came along and all eager on "let's try to finish the pavilion today.

All turning into best team work, without much break, at sun down nearly all which thought makeable done. Having then cleaned up everything, left all clean and sorted behind, the three friends in merits and Nyom Kiem, who not only worked hard, but organized all needed, leaving his other works behind, seeing the donors eager at work, all turned bodily exhausted, but much more shining at mind, satisfied and with Anumodana, back home. And Atma, under the moonlight in the dark back up again.

May all rejoice with their huge efforts, patient and willingness to let go of everything usually done for a long day in virtue and attentive.

It's like developing the path. The base is the most importand. Nobody see's that, right stand, right view, right under-standing, but all up depends on the base, the foundation, found on firm soil. The pillars are like right resolve, right intention, direction. The three pillars, not going after sensuality, not harming, non-conflict, allow elevate from the earth. They need to be straight, not a little bend. Otherwise pulled back down again. Virtue forms the ring rafters, like a fence, holding right resolve together and carry as refined base above the earth. Right effort forms the roof rafters upwardly, more and more refined, up to a peak. Sati holds together the rafter of right effort. Only once sati is then firm structured, the roof material is laued above it, level by level, till the tiny top, where it ends on the peak, leaving even refined dependency, understanding the burden clear, behind.

Practicing is like learning to build such. It requires means, skills, effort, of which might be always different. When knowing all well, tried often in many ways, more ease since always having an alternative at side? Sometimes by means, by special techniques or be larger efforts. The more one abstains from relaying on prepeared by others, the more one can move on in every case.

Don't one think that just such "low estimated" sacrifice of generosity does not provide with higher purification, even highest fruits, is observing harmlessness, care and proper attention.

"I think it's no problem...", so thinking, Nyom brought up all tiles before fixing the issues. In the morning passing by, Atma saw the fron pillows already bend for- and rightward, 5-7 cm.

So back from alms, approaching Nyom a little more urged to organize rafters to stabilize all a little. Not really sufficient, but more the before now. Stronger wind or power will bring it out of center totally and lead to quick collapse.

Again Atma forbid any body to move under the roof before the stabilization works had not been finished.

It's like with right conduct... no problem, no problem, people go on. Sometimes fruits ripe then quick, sometimes much later. And if, trace of causes not seen, seeking reasoning outwardly. A lot of faith is required to go on good, as cause and effect aren't seen with common sight.

Short visit in the evening. Nyom does such work all for the first time, and surely certain passionate. How ever, Atma, fearing that the small pillars, although filled already with concrete, will not withstand stronger horizontal power, such as wind, and collaps, breaking anywhere in the middle, suggested to make at least 1,2m high concrete pillars arount the front posts, and low walls on 2, 3 sides, so that horizontal bending can be avoided. Best before putting all tiles on the top, at least 2-3 to weight. So maybe a joint adventure tomorrow to complete the walls and bases first and maybe Nyom, Nyom joins a day in bringing Sand into it as well.
