Aveline's grave
I was recently in the Berkshires and of course visited the Kushi Institute store to purchase those hard to find macro essential items.
I visited Aveline's grave and I must say I was a little shocked at the location and presentation of her last resting place.
The grave is behind the store's warehouse -- around to the side (see photo's)where you'd expect to find the trash. It seemed a very odd place to me. There is no view from the grave and there are several palces at the Institute that have great views. Of course I don't know all the facts that influenced the placement of the grave -- maybe there were some 9 ki or feng shui considerations, but frankly I was more than a little shocked.
Other than the placement the grave itself hardly seems an appropriate memorial to such a great lady (see close up photo) -- a couple of old cement blocks greet you as you approach, no fresh flowers, no plaque, but again maybe there is some Japanese customs that I am not aware of.
What do others think?
