The Pawo monastery

I had the immense privilege to teach in the Pawo Rinpoché monastery in Kathamndu, Nepal, I lived among the monks. We imagine these children monks different from others and it's true, the only difference is that they play like all the other children in the world. I was amazed by their wisdom and their desire to pray for the good of all beings!
I remember the first day and my first question, "when do you go back to see your parents?" and the youngest answers me "in two years I think, they are far in the mountain", a different reality.
"The boss" of the monastery lama Seunam is an incredible person, a father who takes care of them and always listening, a great soul! he likes when kids call him "mister beans".
now I am no longer among them, I hope to find them very soon.

Life at the monastery between the making of "Torma", for rituals, football and the learning of musical instruments.

An odd thought.

Thanks to the food, air, water, the fertility of men is dropping very fast.

In the monasteries, the monks eat healthy, natural food and live in clean mountain air and of course water is not the processed garbage we drink.

So it means their fertility rate is high.

Can you imagine, if the probelm gets worse, that the monks will be expected to help ?
