Lull that foreruns the storm

Well the big day is approaching... tomorrow I die or survive. Probably it is not a big thing for some of you, but this particular test will be important in my training. Not because of the result but because of what I will learn from it and use in my further training - irrespective of whether I pass or fail. I did not go for my usual extra Friday training today, as I decided to take a little break and relax for tomorrow.

I am translating some religious texts instead. One of the Buddhist communities here is organizing a significant event. Some of the most sacred Buddhist relics (e.g. Buddha's tooth) will be exhibited for 3 days, before they continue their "World Tour". The "World Tour"'s purpose is that as many people as possible will receive the blessing of seeing these rare and precious relics and learn more about the message of loving-kindness and peace. The project's final station will be in Kushinagar (India) in 2008. There the relics will be placed/built in a monumental Buddha sculpture. The exhibition here is scheduled for October, exactly on the weekend when one of the highest level instructors from our MA comes to our country to give a seminar. So probably we can make it as an optional program for those interested. But I will announce it on the forums only when the place and times and all the other details will be fixed.
So they asked me to translate all the promotion materials from English and also to give my voice for dubbing the video/sound material. At last something I am good at and like to do!

Now it's time to go to bed, busy and hard day is to come tomorrow...
