... Bhutanese, Vietnamese, Tamang, Japanese, and Indonesian temples so that I could see how the Buddhist cultures differed and rate their temples on a 5 star system&#8230; I was into this&#8230;only problem was that they close down from 12 to 2. It just so happened to be 12 and our bus took off at 2 so I was **** out of luck! I would not say I was furious because I have seen enough temples to last a lifetime but it was part of the reason for coming. Not wanting ...

... Nikko in Bodh Gaya so......plain, that factor made the decision easier. According to our plan the guides returned for us around 5 PM and we took off to see some of the many Buddhist temples in Bodh Gaya. Because the site is so sacred for the Buddhists, many Buddhist countries have added their version of what a Buddhist Temple should look like. There is a large variety, in styles, each with its own charm symbolism. It took us a few hours but we went ...

... locked with a chain and there is a handwritten sign saying that they are closed for renovation. We checked our paperwork and we are indeed confirmed for 2 nights at this same hotel. As we discuss the matter a guard sheepishly unlocks the gate and opens it. Before going thru the gate I asked the guard if there was a problem with our reservation and he assured me that all was well but that they lock the gate to keep the locals out. Checking in, the ...

... friends with Bunty that he would give us a discount on "the princess room". This room literally was a princess room. That first morning in Udaipur was the most welcome I have ever felt in a new place here. The owner gave us a cup of chai and we chatted, and spent a good part of the day playing a game called Caram with Bunty and his friend Jamil. Bunty and his friend told us that they wanted to take us out for the Holi festival in their car because they said the guys get a little crazy on ...

... out there. I thought to myself, is this just a parade of little kids put on for show but then they keep the money themselves? I have no idea. I offered a total of $600 rupees and said I could either give him some for the drive to the cave and general escort, or to give it all to the school. He said I should give it to the school. We went downstairs and the school head wrote a receipt for the money and gave me his card. I still don't know if it was real or not. This is ...

... into 'arranged marriages' and 'love marriages', with the latter being quite rare. Love marriages - the marrying for love that we take as standard and so for granted in our culture - for most Indians is greatly frowned upon. Basically, its seen as pointless as it doesn't help the family or the community get out of poverty. The consequence for having a love marriage is that at best, the community would so frown on you and your child that you would have to take your ...

... balls are thrown into the lake and eaten up by the fish that live there. Legend has it that Buddha meditated by the lake on the 6th week after enlightenment and was sheltered from a violent storm by the snake god of the lake. I'm guessing believers are providing food to the snake god with these balls of ...

... traffic and the bell on the handlebars allowed me to join in the symphony of courtesy horns. I moved from English grammar to math and science lessons over the course of each day and was impressed with the level of devotion the 10 year old kids had towards the educational process. On one Friday I had written the usual number of math problems on the board as the homework assignment and the students suggested I give them double the work-load as they would have the ...

... stone. However, ratnaghara is now identified by some as a roofless shrine again north of chankramanar. During a week of unusually inclement weather, the naga king Muchalinda wrapped his body seven times about the meditating Buddha, protecting him from the rain, wind and insects. Hsuan Chwang saw a small temple next to the tank, thought to be this naga's abode. He described it as being somewhat southeast of the bodhi tree and it is now identified with the dry pond in ...
