Ordination at DM!
This evening, after years of preparation, Gail Deutsch and Eric Brinkman took nun and monk ordination respectively. It was a powerful and emotional ceremony. Many Diamond Mountain students were there as well as friends and family of the ordainees. Gail has been given the name Lobsang Gyelsay, which means Pure Mind Rose. Eric has been given the Lobsang Nyingpo, Pure Mind Heart. Wow.
Here are some pics. It was low light, so they aren't so great.

Fantastic, Evan - thanks so much for posting these!
It was indeed a very powerful evening. The first ordination at Diamond Mountain, the great monastery.
Dear DMU Blogger,
Thank you so much. I have enjoyed reading the news on this site, and check it every day. My name is Alec Sloman, I'm 19 and I live in Australia. I will, sometime in 2007, be coming to DMU to lend a helping hand.
I was wondering, is there any way I could be put in contact with either of the two Venerables in the photos? I vowed to join the Sangha, and I hope that maybe they could share some advice about how I should best prepare.
Thank you again for your wonderful 'blog'!
