Feb. 20: The Great Stupa


The Great Stupa, in Kathmandu, is one of the most wonderful places that I have ever visited.
Every dawn and dusk, hundreds of Buddhists walk three times around the base of the Stupa, which takes about 15 minutes per time. They chant prayers and swing incense and it is totally authentic.
Dianne and I stayed at a little hotel right on the stupa grounds, and joined the walking every dawn and dusk. It was a magical experience.
