With belly full of nice meal, i went to the fountain behind the mountain which officially is for burning incense for the deities but imprinted with countless footprints of mine, as rememberance of being naughty and competitor to monkeys! The fountain is bit larger than a tennis courtyard, beautiful stupa on the further side of the fountain encircled by lamps made out of iron and bronze, a beautiful but not too big meadow is laying before the Stupa to give it life, and right in front of the Studpa is a statues of Cherenzig (Avalokeshrawa) drenched in swinging water pool and four steps above the statues is a round zise podium bit larger then dinner table enriched with scriptures and symbols represent the twelve deeds of Lord Buddha. This is a monument we built to remember one of the great teacher that we had who was not only a scholar but also a practitioner with eminent signs and comprehension.
As being a child, i used to go there to play wristling on the meadow and right now when i go there to kora, it restrospect everything back to my memory which is quite intereseting and impressive, that's why i kept on stepping on this beautiful place everytime after dinner and you bet dinner served very early in my place, 6.30pm!!! ( i make it point to prepare something for supper, otherwise i have to say goodbye to Goodnight sleep) As usual today i came to the fountain and did my kora but unusual thing is i was alone today, prior times i accompany some of my friends who are very keen to listening my stories in India and i had to explain everything to them ( i mean everything!!!) while we are doing kora! Some foreigners kept on staring at us when my friends make loud sounds of surprise and exclamation, but we keep on our way because we love to have space for us. Today was different because i was alone and place was also not crowd as usual, so i went on round the stupa for several times with earphone plug into my ears and bluffing nothing out of my month which sounds like reciting sacred words, which is no doubt a point to stare and note for the foreigner but there were few of them, at the same time, i wasn't paying enough attention to the enviroment because my mind was fully concentrate on greater topic then the blue eyes!
I WAS THINKG ABOUT LIFE! I was wondering how a silent atmosphere can provide so much calmness and happiness to our mind that we can't believe ourself, at that time when i look at my mind i need nothing from the world, money, car, house and furnitures, even the iphone i brought with me. NOthing at all! ( though it is very very rare for me to feel allergic with my phone, because it is an IPHONE for God's sake!!) i just want to enjoy the moment that mother-nature provide to me, that silent moment, i want it to be never cease to exist but i know it won't last long because i have to get back into the daily life which is quite opposite to the moment i was enjoying, noicy enviroment, crazy ( not literally!!) people with full acceleration life pursuing. Then i can't stop wondering why we always end up in chaos when we really need is peace and silent, we struggle very hard to get ten thousand when we really need is five thousand, when we got the ten Gs then we aim for Twenty Gs then Thirty..... gradually we forgot what our mind wants and we knows it only then when we take our last breath.
Maybe it is the nature of life, or nature of our world that keep us far away from peace and silent, whatever it is i was enjoying that particular moment very much and i was listening to a song titled "Knock Knock Knocking on the Heaven's Door"
