Temple Update..... Many of our customers enjoy the presence of our little temple, so here is some Temple News. We just celebrated the end of Buddhist Lent, which begins the first full moon of July, and ends the first full moon of October. The monks chant morning and evenings and welcome people to sit with them for meditation. It is a good chance to re-focus and remember to be mindful of all that is good in people and life.

Visitors are welcome to visit the American Buddhist Meditation Temple while at Cal-Orchid. It is a quiet sanctuary here on the nursery property. |
Nagoya Castle We have just returned from a trip to Japan to attend an Open House at Tokyo Orchids Nursery as a guest vendor. I went on the trip with Tom Perlite of Golden Gate Orchids. After the sale we traveled to Nagoya to visit some of the local orchid growers and visit the largest auction company, Toyoake. One morning our host, Akihiko Nagata, took us to see one of the historical sites in the area, Nagoya Castle.
Nagoya Castle was constucted in 1612 to secure an important position in Central Japan and to ward off attacks from the Osaka area. Until the Meiji Restoration, Nagoya Castle flourished as the castle for the Owari linneage of the famous Tokugawa family.
My deepest thanks to Akihiko Nagata for taking the time to show Tom and me something so special. *****************************
