Universal Peace Buddha Temple, Prospect Heights

The prep day for any event at the Universal Peace Buddha temple is another opportunity to catch up with friends. Usually the people cooking are part of a regular group of volunteers, some who are on the Executive Committee of the American Burma Buddhist Association, some who are the sponsors of that particular event, and others who are just available to help.

There is always lunch/snacks and plenty of Burmese sweet milk tea. I'm always encouraged to sit, relax, eat something and have tea...even though I'm obviously not the one doing any work!
