Boudhna



Boudhna, Kathmandu is where I am currently living. An oasis of peace within the chaotic city. Every morning, I am woken up by the Tibetan children across the street, reciting their morning chants. I can smell the incenses and the sounds of the gongs. Im surrounded by Tibetan monasteries. Its magical and peaceful. The moment you walk into Boudhna, people are put at ease. Thoughts of pollution fade. In the evening the locals gather and walk around the stupa. With prayer beads in hand, meditation in mind, it’s a beautiful site to see. I sit on the benches, watching the people walking clockwise around the stupa. It’s a meditation just to watch a flow of people, watching in one fluid direction.
