Teachers at the Golden Temple in Amritsar
Jullay Brad!
This trip has been wonderful. We have been running around trying to see all the sights and have been loving them all. Each day has been filled with exciting opportunities to open our minds to the ideas and culture of the Himalayas. We have explored Tibetan Buddhism with talks with Lama Tenzin, a visit with the Karmapa answering questions about teaching, to the awe inspiring Sikh temple - The Golden Temple in Armistar. The people have been warm and welcoming as little old ladies help us through a prayer service making sure we get the most out of it. The food has been wonderful and flavorful, I think we all eat our weight at each meal! I have thoroughly enjoyed the fruit of the region especially the mangos and apricots! We will be visiting the Siddhartha school tomorrow and I am really looking forwards to meeting the kids! More to come!
