I return to Rato
monsoon brews
the young monks grow
they study hard
memorize their prayers
and learn about the world
Our elder scholars persevere
preparing for exams
a little walk can help
then back to studies
New construction has begun
architecture, engineering, and construction, proudly done in house
the animals relax
coconuts collect
Gen Gyatsend Tardo has taken charge of cooking
he prepares watermelon for desert
The guesthouse is well maintained
mopping continues
the generator chugs on
while Renuka takes a needed break
All is well at Rato
