I was ordained as a Buddhist in April 1977 at the buildings you see on the left at 3,03 minutes in. We had many weekend retreat there. It was a former RN station.I was 27 then and now I am 61. Still practicing the Dharma. Danavira by name.
Visited this wonderful place today. Like going back in time, proper toy shop, a VG store, god this is like a childhood memory on it's own. Amazed at the people who have time (and the manners) to stop and say hello. Walke3d the whole island with my kids and was struck by the by gone era of the place that puts city life today into context. Stopped at Nardinis for a fish tea on the way back, life CAN be so simple and sweet. Thanks Cumbrae, made me realise what what I missed in life.
