Visit Nepal 2014
Finally I am in Rome after my summer trip to
Nepal. The trip was good but also quite tiring. Anyway, eventually
all experiences are important and significant. This time I have
spent a nice time with Mom, Dad and little brother at home. I
think it has been very important to stay and sharing some
time together with them as well as to observe their health conditions. I've found that their health condition is changing every year and getting weaker. At that time I also noticed that I am also getting old with them too!
I spent about three months at home in
Tashiling Tibetan Village, Pokhara. This is the first time I had a
vacation that lasted three months at home since I had left home for south
of India, Tibetan Monastery Ganden in my age of 13 in 1976!
Last year, I also stayed over two
months at home with them as one of the longest period of vacation
spent at home. These moments were very important for both sides of us in order to learn more about the situation and to care their everyday life and their health conditions and to find out their needs for care and support. They have came through various difficulties since they have lived as
refugees in Nepal for more than five decades. For the time being, their health conditions are relatively good and living with a life of
much religious acts as most of the time devoted to the daily routine
of prayers and practices.
While my time being there I made a
short trip to Lumbini, birth place of Buddha. I also travelled with Dad, Mom and
brother, and also our little dog Jimmy to Kathmandu for few days holiday. We visited some sacred
places - Boudha Nath and Swyambu.
It is just a brief report of this trip to Nepal. Much peace and happiness to all......
NEPAL VISIT 2022
As planned, after 45 days (November to mid-December) of vacation in Nepal which was a visit to the family home after 3 years! A trip was already prepared at the beginning of the year 2020 that I had to give up because of the pandemic!
This time the trip was very meaningful and useful for everyone, for me, my parents, brother and family, to update both samsara and nirvana. My parents are in good health and in a great Dharma spirit.
The new rooms in Pokhara have been arranged well. It was very nice to invite monks and friends to the temple in the new room for puja and lunch for several times.
Also in Kathmandu it was very nice to have a short trip, this time only to the SWAMBU NATH STUPA, which is perhaps the earliest sacred place in Kathmandu.
I conclude here a brief account of my Nepal 2022 trip.
