My view on the places and people I meet along the way and especially on myself
On Sunday I arrived at the monastery Wat Pa Tam Wua after a nice 2 hour bus ride up north through nice forestal scenery.
I arrived right in time for the food offering. So, I was thrown head first into the daily schedule. How does a day of a student on his way to enlightenment look like?
This will be my last post out of the Kung Fu Retreat and probably from Pai also. On Sunday I will move from Pai 2 hours north into a monastery in order to learn more deeply to meditate. I don’t know how long I will stay. My goal is 10 days but it might be just to intense since I’m also thinking about doing silent meditation. We’ll see. I won’t have access to the internet during this time and if possible I throw my phone in the bin during this time.
On Friday I decided to extend my stay here for another 2 weeks. This means that I will miss my return flight on the 7th of April, which I cannot change. Also, I have to change my plans on a bikepacking trip with my brother, which made the decision more difficult.
Today I want to write a little about the retreat I am doing. As mentioned, I am in Thailand. The town is called Pai and quite close to the border to Myanmar in the north.
It was not a conscious decision, I am not able to do those at the moment. I had several options and made a draw. So, here I am.
As I am writing this I am looking over the training area and I can hardly see the mountains through the mist.
