More Bodhgaya




From the 5th to the 9th of January we attended teachings with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in the "Land of Enlightenment," Bodhgaya. There were 50,000 attendees to the teachings including 1000 westerners from all parts of the world. The Gelug Monlam (Prayer Festival) has been going on during the teachings as well at the site of the Mahabodhi Stupa next to the Bodhi tree. As the dust and pollution here is overwhelming, we decided to join the latest fashion trend and donned face masks!
