Work has been proceeding apace since we started on January 6th this year. A work force of about 15 plus a supervisor have been digging and laying foundations, raising the land level where construction is ongoing, and constructing a boundary wall in this small section of our large 200 acre site. Before the rains arrive in July we plan to have shifted the 24ft prototype from Bodh Gaya to create a focus of interest and prayerful practice on site.

We are awaiting the right moment to start the final land measurements so we can mark our boundaries accurately following which we can then start the very important process of topographical survey followed by a fengshui report by an eminent international expert.
