Photos from 1981 Vajradhatu Seminary
By Tony Bouret
This reminiscence from the 1981 Vajradhatu Seminary was broadcast by Tony Bouret on sangha_announce. With his permission, we have reproduced a selection of his photographs below.
It’s been 30 years! The 1981 Vajradhatu Seminary was the last of three held at Chateau Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, from January to March of that year. I was 28 years old and had some kind of dinky little camera. I don’t remember what it was, but definately not 35mm. For the 30 year anniversary, I was inspired to dig the prints out of a box. The prints were about 3.5×3.5″ and I scanned them at 600dpi.
Enjoy and keep practicing. Maybe see you at Scorpion Seal!

These photos take me back to my days at the 1981 Seminary when each day was blissful due to the blessings of our guru, the dharma and the sangha and of course glorious Lake Louise. Thanks for posting these precious photos.

Thanks for scanning and posting these, Tony. A good bit of history…not I have images to bring to mind when reading the 1981 Seminary Transcripts! :-)
