Today I went with Anna out of town to a place near to the Kathmandu Botanic garden. It is a holy place of Palden Lamo more or less a fountain in the jungle which is unfortunately covered from the hindus like everything here meaning that the hindus are taking over all the places. But still there was the power of the red lady. We meditated there and afterwards we went in the garden to search for the aurora plant - meaning the tree which has a different name here. Unfortunaltely neither we nor the garden management could find it. But Anna will go back or even up the the border to Tibet to make fotos for an exebition in Linz this year about tibetan healing plants.

I spent the last days mostly in the center here and I meditated on Diamond mind. A little retreat under the shower of the nectar of the purity of all buddhas with a look on swayambu every day! Lucky me!
In some days from now I will go to Delhi on a bus and spend my last 3 weeks in India. Maybe even I will leave a little earlier as Karmapa changed his schedule and starts his teachings in the first week of March. That will be a party on the plane back - shure about that one.....
