More Templestay Pics

Traditional tea service.

Monks have four bowls and robes/shoes and that is all that belongs to them.
Talk about nonattachment!


Meditation and a Q and A session with the monk.


A big hike with the monks. Ten thousand people did the same hike that day up uneven stones for two hours to the top of the mountain. Hiking is a very popular weekend activity. You don't exactly get that harmony with nature feeling when you're surrounded by other hikers!









Breakfast is apples, rice, soup, squash and more veggies. Natalie is from Russia but has been working as a banker in London, After ten years she quit her job and is traveling the world. She is now in Thailand for a month of meditation and yoga. We went to a Korean spa and out for a Korean BBQ dinner after the templestay. 



Nummy noodle soup with mushrooms and other veggies.
A few cats live here too.






Making lotus lanterns with my new friend from Sweden.
