A Detour to Barnet / by Nathan Carterette

there are five villages that make up Barnet, with a total population of under 2000. there are a large number of Buddhist residents as one of the large centers is located here, Karmê Chöling. my father moved there and was married at the center in 2016. i was able to spend a few days, in between Vermont concerts, visiting.
