Eighteen volunteers from various Kadampa Meditation Centers, including KMC-LA, KMC Colorado, KMC Arizona, KMC Phoenix, KMC Florida, and KMC New Mexico, dedicated their weekend from September 15-17 to serve at the IKRC Grand Canyon. They diligently aided the residents and managers in conducting the first extensive cleaning of the Temple since its inauguration in 2019.
To ensure thorough cleaning, a lift was used to access and clean the windows across all five tiers inside the Temple, up to the Dharma Wheel, making the glass on the shrine sparkle. Meanwhile, volunteers took to the ladders to clean the outer windows from the roof. Additional helpers engaged in diverse landscaping projects around the extensive grounds. The collaborative efforts were deeply appreciated by IKRC, marking the fulfilment of crucial center-maintaining tasks with the help of cherished sangha friends.
