“Treasured Moments of far off lands in your own backyard take you home.
There is no distance in hearts that love. All the faces I have known come smiling
back at me as I ring the bell or spin the sacred Prayer Wheel”.
Cindy
Peace and Happiness for All 
Welcome to Buddha Medicine Land 
Strip away the illusion of who you think you are and enter the space of love and connection of all beings everywhere. This safe haven in Santa Cruz, California welcomes all to the land of open heartfelt connections. Just 1 hour south of San Francisco, be transported to your souls deepest desires. Feel the earth move under your feet and the echo of the great teachings of the Buddah, blessed by the Dali Lama amongest many other monks and those that live on the property.
May health and happiness be available for ourselves and all beings everywhere.
Tokens and food left for the Offering 
One Year Later my friend sees her rock she left in honor of her friend’s Son’s Passing in the same place she left it.
Magic is found at every turn of the junction, while hiking this sacred beautiful land.
Stop to smell the flowers… 
Stupa in process as they keep adding to it….If you build it, they will come
Everywhere you walk fills your heart, open your senses, quiets your mind, as you become one with nature.
Sound permeates your soul, igniting the light of the love of who your are, stripping away false illusions, raising your frequency.
And finally a stop at the gift shop for a treasure to bring home to remind me to come to my bell and stop daily to ring in the song of my heart, that’s always there if I only stop to listen.
Thanks stopping in and sharing this secret hidden treasure with me. When we stop to share our experiences in life they reinfuse our spirit and keep them alive; which was the unexpected gift of this post; so much appreciation for visiting.

Oh this sounds like a place I’d love to visit, Cindy! Unfortunately ‘Just 1 hour south of San Francisco’ is a little bit further away for me…😊Happy Weekend 🎉🎊😘
You would love it I know Ingrid!
Well, someday when you visit, I’ll take you here! 💖Happy weekend to you too Ingrid! 💖
Sounds great 🤩 there were some Buddhist temples near where we lived in Spain, but they all got closed due to covid.
Awesome!
Yes, and when I get to Spain let’s hope they open again.💖
The place is so peaceful. In India, there is a place called Bodh Gaya which is the place where Buddha gained enlightenment and this place gives off the same vibes.
Happy weekend!!!!
It is and thanks for sharing that Akshita!
Have you been before?
Oooh I want to come visit.
I am hopeful to someday.
Thanks and you have a good one too! 💖
Beauty and peace is a wonderful combination – but a long drive from Cincinnati.
For sure Frank but it you visit it will await you after some lovely beach walks of course! 🤗🤣💖

How wonderful! An inspiring place and time in nature with a friend. Looks like a memorable day. 💖 I love Santa Cruz.🥰 Thank you for sharing your day with us.
It truly is a wonderful place and so magical. Sharing it with a friend was very special.
Santa Cruz is a great spot, I agree.
So nice you stopped in, thank you Michele! 💖
And to think that would have been an easy drive for me five months ago, Cindy. But did I know you then? How strange life is. I would love to have come visit and see some of the beautiful places I’ve missed. You friend’s stone story touched me. Vince put up a stone during our walk a few days ago. The next day it was still there, but a couple of days later, someone had moved all the stones. He was quite sad about it. Have a wonderful weekend, Cindy. Talk to you soon. 🙂
Hi Marsha,
I know right but def put it on your list of things to do when you visit. It is strange. I think we did but we didn’t talk about this I’m sure. It is soooo cool that it was still there. Oh sorry to hear about Vince’s stone.
Thanks and you have a wonderful weekend as well! 💖🙏🌷
I have talked him into coming back to CA in May. We will see if he holds out Otherwise, I’d love to come in April and photograph all the roses at the Woodlake Rose Garden. Our Kiwanis group worked so hard on it this winter, it is going to be spectacular.
Wow, what a great thing. That’s soooooo awesome!!! That sounds heavenly!!!! 👏👏👏🌷🌷🌷🌷
I know. It snowed today. I’m ready for a CA spring! 🙂
i bet you are!!!! I know I would be as well! 💖🌷🌷 Us Callie girls… 💖🤣
:))
Beautiful and serene. Peace unto all Cindy 💖💖
Yes, indeed! Cheers to that Asok!
Happy Weekending! 💖💖

Hi Cindy,
Thank you for sharing this secret spot. It sounds magical! I definitely hope to visit it someday!
Blessings! ❤❤
Hi Ana Star,
You’re so welcome! I know you would love it!!!💖🌷Thank and Happy Saturday! 💖
Hello Cindy Ji.,
Happy Women Day! With Peace and Peacefully with happiness! 🙏
Thank you.
Thank you so much Amit treasured friend! 💖🙏
Certainly looks like a beautiful place to me, Cindy. Both naturally and spiritually. The natural world always seems to add a special aspect of sacred that is not found in traditional Western churches where so much emphasis has been put on conquering nature as opposed to learning to live in harmony with it. Thanks for this delightful post. –Curt
You would definitely enjoy it Curt and both aspects speak to you here. I love what you just said and I do think you’re right here. You’re so welcome and thanks for stopping in. I’m so behind but will get caught up soon. Happy Sat night! 💖
Makes me think of Esalen, Cindy. Every time I drive by it, I think, “Damn, I’d like to spend some time there,” but never have. It has great appeal to the ‘New Ager’ in me. 🙂 –Curt
ahhhhhhh yes, me too. I have to go too sometime. My friend teaches mindfulness meditation on New Years Eve and I always want to make it but need to just do it! 💖
What a great New Year’s Eve that would be Cindy!
It truly woud; I may need to call and commit! 💖🤗
🙂
🤗
What a gorgeous place!
I’m wow’d.
Thanks for sharing, Cindy.
Yours,
David
It Truly Is David and gld you enjoyed it! 💖
That looks like such a bright and peaceful place, Cindy. Just looking at the photos made me smile. And so touching that the rock place by your friend was still there. A lovely heartfelt post.
Hi Diana,
Sooo glad you liked it… it really is. Yes, that was such a wonderful moment to see!! Hope your writing is going well!!! 💖
Oh my, that sounds and looks like a wonderfully spiritual place where you can spend as long as you want exploring and discovering 💕✨ Lovely photos!
It really is D, I’m going to plan to go more often!
Thanks and have a great night! 💖
Of course! You too!😂💕
Wow what a wonderful place!
It totally is! Glad you enjoyed it!
Really amazing natural place. You are absolutely right. We can say that natural places are a gift from God to us where we can have some rest time.
Thanks so much!!! You are soooo right!! 🌷🌷🌷 It’s nice to see you here🙏
