Tumbling down the wall

The dusk accompained by downpour as we neared our destination.  Allinated to the environment, yet the  people there were welcoming and  perfectly hospitable. Reached  Bumdeling,Trashiyangtse(eastern Bhutan) for the very first time. An excursion during 2nd semester to  Rigsum Goenpa, a monastery in the hills. We halt our nights at Bumdeling Lower school.

It was after supper, I went out for toilet with a friend of mine (Praba). He was fiddling his cell phone and I proceeded further. We went behind a concrete building.
I sensed a drainage and a flower garden along.  It was pitch dark. Blindly I jumped over the garden and took a step.....

Accidentally I tumbled down the wall. I just felt goose bumps as I rolled down. Praba hurriedly followed behind me. I was already at the bottom of the wall. He was giggling, looking at me with his deemed cellphone light.

Luckily I didn't lose any of my bones. Perhaps I did had little scratches over my arms and butt, but it wasn't a fatal accident, my bones remained in their original position.

Praba called friends for help and we got back to room. Hilarious moment it  was, I blushed as our lady mates smeared anti in factant cream over scratches. Meanwhile they teased me by my nickname 'Gondho'. Laughter broke when ladies joked about a rolling egg over wall, which never broke. Other guys repeatedly pulled my legs, reminding me about the accident. They said, our Gondho(egg)  was about to break today.

The following morning, I just went around to see the wall.
humorous memory!!!

The Ritual of Mandala Offering

    The Ritual of Mandala Offering       Mandala offering symbolizes an offering of the entire universe  and other priceless objects   present within it  to the Buddhas in order to accrue merit.  Manda  means the essence or midpoint and circumference and  la  means “taking hold of”. Thus,  mandala  refers to grasping the basis or essence for achieving all the magnificent qualities of the higher realms and the kingdom of Dharma, the sacred truths of cessation and the path.         As per the Buddhist cosmology, the earth is considered flat with a giant mountain, Mount Meru in the middle, bordered by four major continents, each with two main and several minor sub-continents. There are incalculable of similar realms and we visualize offering all these worlds considering them as unpolluted lands and offered to the Buddhas and great enlightened beings.      I would briefly explain t...
