Lama Ole at Swayambu
astrid70 | 29. Januar 09
One of the bigest wishes I had for my tour in Asia was to be with Ole in Kathmandu and see all the holy and for us already historical places of the roots of the Diamondway Buddhism. And it happend: the Lama arrived on the 27th at the airport 2 hours delayed and first he blessed and inaugurated the new center her. I didn't get this as i was still at the airport collecting all the friends from KIBI who travelled with him to get them on a bus.
The lecture at the same day was arranged at a Gompa of Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche at the buttom of the Swayambu Stpa not far from the center. Though the accustic was really bad there, we had a nice time together as the hall is beautifully painted, all the monks were serving tea and cookies and we were only 100 people. Nice little family party!
Afterwards we went to the center to have food and later some drinks togehter. As the building has many floors and terasses as balconies, it was like a summer party in the middle of winter. The day has been extremly nice: warm, sunshine and so was the night: clear and not cold at least.
Unfortunately we had a little accident as one of the russians fell on his face and kicked out 3 tees! Strong place with strong purifications in this case.
The next day we went up to Swayambhu. Ole came a little later and we made the round on the top and went to the place were Ole first saw 16th Karmapa. It is actually the entrance of the Kagyu monastery there. We even went on top were Ole and Hannah made prostrations and Diamond Mind. One floor below there is the place were Ole and Hannah could always see 16th Karmapa as seen on may pictures. Here he was welcomed by the monks and talked about this.
Later we went together to Lopon Tchechus monastery and meditated together at the golden Stupa inside in which is the mody of his first master.
What a day! I also enjoyed staying with the friends and I have the whish to spend even more time with some of them and go to KIBI diretly from here next month to be with 17th Karmapa at Lossar (Feb. 25th) in Delhi.
Let's see what happens....
