A Beautiful Place

I arrived at the Kopan Monastery and immediately understood why I have been wanting to come back here ever since I left over a year ago. The monastery sits on a hill overlooking the Kathmandu valley. There is only calm and peace within the monastery walls.

My retreat is six days and, to honor the purpose of the retreat, will limit my time on the computer to every few days. You may not see a blog from me during the retreat. I will journal every day and hope to put my thoughts in a blog at the end of the retreat.

The retreat is an introductory course on Tibetan Buddhism. The course combines teaching, meditation, and silence.

Namaste
