This is great, it really is! But I’m wondering, What if I wanted to stay there for a year, what would I have to do? I don’t really know all that much about buddhism, but I think it would be a great learning experience for me. Sure it will take a few years before i’m able to go, as I want to finish high school first. But it would stll be great to do this before University. Would you be so kind as to tell me what I would have to do?

You are right about everything you say about attachment.
The quiston that I have is how do you do It? How do you llet go? Everyboby wants to be loved and huged.I think
this was ment to be are the world would be nothing but monks and nuns.Think about it there would be no monks and nuns if there were no mothers and fathers and for that you have to be attached to something.In not harming others,remmeber not to harm yourself.Love is good remmember that the next time you are sleeping all alone wanting someone to hole you.

That’s inspiring. I’m 14 years old and I wish I could live there… I live in the United States and everyone here only cares about “stuff.” I feel like I’m the only person who’s not obsessed with getting more stuff. It’d be nice to live with other people who feel the same way…

Minder,
This was inspiring. I was wondering if you can give me some details on where you were and how I could maybe set up a trip to the monestery?
I’m really in need of some self discovery and peace.

Your happiness depends on yourself, and also others. We need friends. These monks are friends to each other and that makes a big difference I am sure.

TDM, Thank you for being so generous with your experiences and wisdom. I just found your website minutes ago as I was searching for a place to go away and meditate, and every article I have read is so enlightening! I will your entire website soon… even if I have to clear out my summer reading schedule Your generosity and value-added is so appreciated!

I have to ask: This monastery you write about is exactly what I need to visit to help me learn some lessons first hand about valuing “things”, addictions, and living a better life. Can you please send me to a website or give me some advice on how to book this trip? I googled Tibetian Monastery in Tso Pema but not much came up. I’m female – can I go alone?

Thanks in advance for responding!
Ez

Hallo

Thank-you so much for this as I too come from a country where we being victimised and had to leave the country for a better life but the rest of my family is still living in that hell hole (I feel like I have deserted them) My whole race from that country is negative and frustrated (and dont blame them) and I wish they could take on that believe so that it will ease the pain of loosing your own country and just be happy.
