Yesterday’s message

Yesterday I was in a strange place — yes, one could say in an existential crisis of sorts (even without an eating disorder!). What to do? I decided to go to the Tibetan monastery and listen in case Buddha had some advice. Sure enough, he did.

I walked speedily around the Stupa nine times. It was probably the tension. Anyway, four words came to mind and became a mantra: courage, wisdom, patience and trust.

Afterwards I went down the hill and then into the building with the meditation room. There I got another message: Be mindful, conscious and aware. Be in the now.

I must admit, it was nothing new. But who says I need new information every time? Reminders are priceless!
