Visiting Kathmandu

---

Touristic day in Kathmandu devoted to visits of both Pashupatinath and Buddhanath.

The Buddhanath was stronger on exotism. My first encounter with that glance. Really strange and hard to define or depict with words. Tired? Oversmoked? Hangrylike? Unconscious? Ignoring? Or Farseeing?
Learned there about the prayor flags and the meanings attached to colors, the art of Mandalas, The three temptations/damnations: the pig, the snake and the bird.

Made a lot of prayer wheels to spin around that day. Mani, mani, mani.

Back at the hotel, we learned that we were to take off by 4am.

What re you staring at?
That glance really puzzles me

The prayer wheel. More than a concept, a philosophy.
