108-Kora (circumambulation) of Dra Karpo Lhakhang in Paro, Bhutan

Image
In Buddhism, kora (which means circumambulation) is the act of walking around the sacred site in a clockwise direction. Buddhist pilgrims do kora of the religious temples, sites, objects, etc to gain spiritual merits; cleanse sins of past and present lives and purify negative karma; and to attain spiritual and mental enlightenment. Pilgrims usually recite mantras and say prayers as they do the rounds. Bhutan being a Buddhist country, Kora is very prevalent and no temples are usually seen without pilgrims doing koras. However, the trend of 108-kora is quite a new thing in Bhutan, started or at least grew its popularity only a few years ago. It may have existed earlier amongst the elders but it became a good new thing to talk about and show off on social media handles recently, me being one of them :D. Honestly, apart from gaining spiritual merits and   cleansing  off sins, I don’t know the specific reason behind circumambulating the temples 108 times. Of course, t...

Trip to Iseltwald, Lake Brienz & Lake Thun, Interlaken and Sigriswil 🇨🇭

Image

Fall, especially the second half of September till the first half of November is the best time to visit Switzerland, I strongly recommend. We started our journey early in the morning from Geneva in a car, so that we have enough time for sightseeing, we planned to visit many places. Our host was a lovely Bhutanese family in Bern, where we stopped for a cup of tea on the way and unloaded our stuffs. From Bern, we were joined by the host family. We drove to Iseltwald first, a beautiful, serene and a colorful village  on the south shore of Lake Brienz,  well known for the filming of popular K-drama, Crash landing on you. It looked more beautiful in real, deep blue lake, snow capped mountains, stunning landscape and colorful ...

Worrying: Does it attain anything??? How I got rid of Worries!!! PART 2

Image
In part 1 of my article, I have written about how worried I used to be about every little thing in life and how I suddenly realized I was just wasting my time and energy for absolutely nothing. It  wasn't  something I achieved overnight or in a month or a year. It was something I worked for everyday. But o nce you realize that worrying is the problem, not the solution, you can regain control of your worried mind. I would like to share the following nine steps through which I conquered worries in my life: 1.     Self Realization/ Awareness and Self-Monitoring: The first and the foremost thing I did which helped me conquer worry was being aware of the existence of such habit in me. Many a times, when I worried about things, I knew that this was not normal and I should do something about it. So, every time I worried about something I questioned myself, is it really worth worrying? Am I just wasting my time? Will I achieve anything just because I worry ab...
