Day 3 of the teachings... day 3 of being in Bodh Gaya. The teachings are so fantastic. I feel so completely in my head and it feels really good. After the teachings today, I ran back to my hotel to get my camera to try to take a few photos. I was in the crowd of people again, just sitting there, feeling so at peace amongst everyone and the chaos. My mind was really quiet and I felt as if I had been in silence for days. It was interesting, a bit hard to explain. If you have been on retreat, maybe you know the feeling I am talking about.
My photos didn't really turn out. Yesterday I talked about how I was standing in the crowd feeling so alone as the world passed by. It's kind of how my photos are. I took them from that perspective, I was standing still, while people were walking by, not the best situation for photo taking, but here are a few.
I'm feeling really exhausted, the combination of the very philosophical teachings and being outside all day and being in India, makes this lady a very tired one.
goodnight..
