first of all let me compiment you for giving such a graphic portrait of the spiritual aura, in a budhist monastry. it reminded of my own experience when i visited Nepal. i was really transported to Rumtek. Budhist philosophy is of interest to me and when in turmoil, it helps me center myself. thanks for sharing Raj.
Thank you Raj for inviting me to read this poem. I absolutely enjoyed it. You have so well brought out the ethos of the place which makes it even more attractive for me than before. This is one place I have heard and read a lot about and hope to be able to see it one day. You have had a great experience and have done justice in your description of it. You made me feel like I was in Rumtek. A very gripping and refreshing piece. Thanks once again. Take care
Suffering and pain are two inseparable twins, which from the very beginning, to our lives does cling! And this made Gautam seek the truth thus enlightening mankind…no pleasure is equal to gaining this freedom of spirit…. Your poem does enlighten us on the spiritual aspect…. The nature is engrossing…
Your evocative writing carries with it the peace of the event, I enjoyed reading it, thank you.
It is a beautiful poem. The description of the Rumtek Monastery is very nice. The spiritual atmosphere is well felt. The desire to submit to that Spirit is well expressed. Over all, a very very nice poem.10
