In this episode, Jason gives a dramatic reading of the Diamond Sutra. The Diamond Sutra, a Mahāyāna Buddhist text, is notable for its influence on East Asian Buddhism, especially within the Chan or Zen tradition. Translated across a wide geographic range, it's revered for its teachings on "perfection of wisdom." Historically significant, it's recognized as one of the earliest dated printed books, with its discovery tracing back to 868 AD; it was also the first book ever released with complete open rights, allowing it to be shared, distributed or copied by anyone. The text's cultural impact is mirrored in a rich tradition of commentary and veneration within East Asian Buddhist cultures, embodying a legacy of religious thought and practice that continues to resonate across the globe​. The sutra's title metaphorically relates to the Vajra, a powerful weapon, symbolizing wisdom that cuts through illusions to attain ultimate reality. The text's essence, promoting a deeper understanding of reality through wisdom, along with its historical value as an early example of printed literature, highlights its enduring relevance and esteemed position within the Buddhist tradition and world religion​. The Diamond Sutra had fostered a rich cultural milieu of artwork, veneration, and over 80 commentaries by the end of China's Tang dynasty, indicating a vibrant intellectual engagement with the text. Its teachings continue to inspire Buddhist practitioners and scholars, affirming its timeless value in exploring profound religious and philosophical themes.  The recording at the opening of the show is of monks chanting at the Buddhist stupa Swayambhunath in Kathmandu, Nepal.

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.  Resources: Swayambhunath Stupa – A bit of info about the famous "Monkey Temple" in Kathmandu, Nepal. Visit Nepal 2020 – The campaign to visit in 2020.

Basically I heard this was the Monkey Temple for good reason. There are a lot of Monkeys at this stupa/temple. I visited Swayamdhunath Stupa the day after I first visited Boudhanath Stupa and booked my next three nights at the Bodhi Guest House. Once I arrived at this temple I knew this was something special about this temple. So much so I thought I should get a hotel on near this location because I know I would be spending a great deal of time in at this holy Buddhist stupa. In the end I realized my best place to stay is near Boudhanath Stupa and at the Bodhi Guest House Hotel. The Monkey Temple is so much different than Boudhanath Stupa. It is more than the monkeys. It is the energy, the people and the general size of the complex. I was completely stunned by it all. The more I go the deeper I go into the coolness of Swayambhuanth Stupa. There is something very special for me at this temple. I knew it the first time I arrived. Each time I go this realization is only deepened. Despite staying near the Boudhanath Stupa I have actually spent more time at the Monkey temple. Thanks for listening! I invite you to share this podcast, offer a comment or leave some feedback. Show Notes: Known as the Monkey Temple, it is the oldest and most sacred Buddhist temples in Nepal. I spent most of my time at this temple. It is much larger than most people know and is worth exploring. The monkeys can be very aggressive. But when they not, they are very cute and human like.

I'm so grateful to be able to share with you the highlights of this past week in Kathmandu, Nepal from the rooftop of my hotel-Pilgrims Hotel. I've already seen 3 festivals and I've only been here a week. One of the highlights was witnessing Gunla, the Newari Buddhist tradition of prayer, fasting, singing, playing musical instruments and making pilgrimages to Swayambhunath, The Monkey Temple. I arrived on the platform of the stupa of Swayambhunath greeted by drums, flutes, singing, and a incredible diversity of musical styles ranging from the traditional flute instrumentation of Newari ensembles to traditional Nepal folk music. It was inspiring! In this episode I play some of the highlights. I'm often asked what am I eating when I'm traveling. Naturally I want to experience as much local food as possible so I'm eating what alot of locals eat, Nepal food, momos,(dumplings), fried noodle dishes, and Indian food like curries, and snacks. Kathmandu has great international food as well and staying in Thamel affords you the ease of walking only a few steps to sample many cuisines of the world from Japanese to Thai, Italian, Middle-Eastern, American and more. There is good pizza and pasta to be had in Kathmandu! I'm primarily here to trek and I'll be leading a small group soon up to Everest Base Camp. One of the many things I do besides creating travel stories and content online and mobile is promoting travel to Nepal through a company I partner with called Sacred Trekking.

Medicina tibetana por el Lama Jampa, que tuvo lugar en Espacio Ronda (Madrid) el 13 de Junio 2015. Organizado por Hermesan. Estuvimos sólo una semana antes del gran terremoto del 25 Abril. Dejamos un país magnífico, con una gente bella, amable y buena, repleto de templos y espacios sagrados. Fuimos recibidos en el Monasterio de Monjas Keydong Choeling, en Katmandú, a los pies de la famosa estupa de Swayambhunath. Nos atendió cariñosamente la monja tibetana Ani Tendol, que nos hizo sentirnos especialmente bien. Ahora necesitan ayuda; su monasterio aunque de pie, está dañado y resquebrajado y las monjas duermen fuera por el riesgo de caída del edificio. La mayoría de los habitantes de Nepal, viven en el campo. Los pueblos de las montañas al pie de los Himalayas han desaparecido, dejando a la gente a la intemperie y sin recursos. Si quieres ayudar, abajo damos la información de contacto y cómo enviar dinero para que llegue el 100%. Nepal es un país humilde, ahora desvastado y unos pocos euros dan para mucho. Puedes apadrinar una monja o ayudar a un familia por menos de un euro al día. --------------------------- http://www.hermesan.es http://www.espacioronda.com http://www.mindalia.com - La Red Social de Ayuda a través del Pensamiento http://www.mindaliaradio.com - La Radio del Pensamiento Positivo http://www.circulosdeayuda.com Los videos de esta y otras conferencias y entrevistas de interés en http://www.mindaliatelevision.com Puedes escuchar este y otros audios en http://mindaliacomradio.ivoox.com

The Amateur Traveler talks to Jon Miller of the Rest of Everest podcast about his journeys in Nepal. Jon originally went to Nepal as part of a film he was shooting on an Everest expedition, but as Jon tells it you come for the mountain but fall in love with the people and the culture. Jon describes Kathmandu with is various temples or stupas like Swayambhunath (the monkey temple) and Boudhanath with crowds of people performing a kora around them. He tells us places to get a good meal in Thamel (the tourist district) and suggests a day trip to the well preserved city of Bhaktapur. After Katmandu Jon tells us about trekking and also hiking up to Everest basecamp where the altitude can be very challenging (and Jon lives up at 6000 feet at home in Colorado).
