Rosebank Blessing

For the last couple of months a group of locals has taken over the running of the store. A cooperative has been established and the Rosebank Store and the Green Frog Cafe have reopened. Sadly the Post Office is gone for good but the little shop is doing well. The cafe staff are finally learning how to make reasonable coffee, there is a weekend cook/chef for breakfast and lunch and locals provide cakes etc. for sale.
As you know Rosebank is quite a spiritual place and so it was decided that for the good fortune of the business a blessing should be arranged. Four Gyuto Monks of Tibet have been staying in the area and on Friday night they performed a blessing ceremony at the Green Frog. We (along with about 70 others) were able to hear the extraordinary tantric chanting for which the monks are renowned. I know that you could download their chants from many sites on the web but here is our take on it.
