A Day at Boudhanath Stupa – OHS 317

June 04, 2023

I decided to spend one full day at Boudhanath Stupa. Most of my time in Kathmandu and at my hotel (near Boudhanath Stupa) was usually in "home base" mode. Meaning I am generally spending a number of hours at Boudhanath but not all day. I typically leave to go to the Monkey temple, to shop in the Thamel District, or am off to visit one of the many Buddhist sites in the city or in a small city close by. I am either waking up to do practice at Boudhanath, or I leave for the Swayambhunath in the morning and return for the afternoon, or I am gone most of the day and swing by late night for my night time practice.

After spending 5 days on the road visiting municipality (city) of Halesi and the Maratika Caves, the city of Timal and Yarinak Cave, and the famous Stupa in the city of NamoBuddha, I was ready for a day of non-travel rest. This meant I was going to spend a full day at Boudhanath Stupa practicing, shopping, and site seeing.

Thanks for listening! I invite you to share this podcast, offer a comment or leave some feedback.

Show Notes:

I finally spent one full day at Boudhanath Stupa.
It felt good not to get into a taxi for that one day.
I was able to see how the character of people who practice Buddhism changes every couple of hours throughout one full day.
Nice to see Boudhanath Stupa at night.
