Today on the program
visit to the #039;mahabody meditation center#039; in the village of changspa near leh
It is a center of meditation and Buddhist studies
Because of course, the Himalayas, by their location and local culture, offer an ideal site to devote themselves
a little meditation in the middle of the mountains
After a short walk in the fields, we enter the meditation room at 5:30 p.m.
it#039;s a large room with a large bnuddha at the back of course.
It is a Malaysian woman in her fifties who runs the session.
she speaks in English, we are around twenty participants of all nationalities
(French, English, German and even 2 Indians...) and of all ages
she teaches meditation called #039;vipassana#039; which is closer to the Buddhisms of Thailand
and Burma (Theravada) as well as Tibetan Buddhism (Mahayana)
Voila, it was the cultural minute!
the session first consists of a short speech in English from the teacher on the benefits
meditation (as she herself said, she was cured of her cancer thanks to that, among other things)
then a little #039;meditative walk#039; which is a walk during which it is important to take
awareness of all movements that are performed. interesting
and finally, a silent meditation, sitting cross-legged for almost 20 minutes
in short, a moment of serenity in a great context
