Arriving in Wales

Shengyen: Getting to Wales has been somewhat like undergoing a chon retreat. In the last three days we have spent over 50 hours on planes without a proper night's sleep and with a complete uncertainty as to whether we were actually going to arrive. Yet here we are and as I can see you are all ready to begin. Everything is arranged. You all have your places marked and your jobs allocated so we must certainly start at once. Despite numerous obstacles it has come about. I hope each of you will treasure the opportunity and work hard.
