Many travel destinations have more visitors during a high season, when the weather is best, during holidays and festivals, or perhaps just because of habitual migration. These are often important reasons; travellers accept the crowds and inflated prices as trade-offs.
Occasionally, even sensible travellers disregard their guidebook’s first chapter (“When To Go”) and visit during the “wrong” season – and they win! The weather is not unpleasant, the prices are heavily discounted, the streets are free, the locals are more open, and new perspectives are unveiled. And sometimes, while out picking wild asparagus, the sky bursts with rainbows, and you really wonder: why is this the low season?
Cuando vives como un nómada digital, por ejemplo, viajando y trabajando en tu computadora portátil desde regiones remotas del planeta, eliges no viajar como turista. Nos gusta llegar a una ciudad y vivir en ella.
Aquí les comparto la primera parte de nuestro viaje a Singapur. Realmente me quedé asombrada con esta ciudad llena de vegetación, muy limpia y claro con muchas reglas y cara. Vale mucho la pena conocerla (aunque sea en video).
Para vivir no la recomiendo mucho a menos que encuentres un trabajo muy bien pagado. Entonces si, eso te permitiría ahorrar para retirarte pronto y la calidad de vida es buena.
Amigos, les comparto mi canal de youtube, espero que les guste.
Hemos decidido vivir sin apegos a un sólo lugar. Somos nómadas digitales y yogis, es decir que trabajamos remotamente desde una computadora, sentados junto al mar, viviendo en las montañas y en muchos otros lugares. Practicamos yoga y meditación todos los días. Hay varios factores que nos hacen cambiar de lugar, como el clima, la búsqueda de lugares para hacer retiros de meditación, visitar a nuestros maestros en Asia, visitar a nuestras familias, la búsqueda de un estilo de vida contemplativo pero con acceso a un mundo en donde convivir con diferentes culturas y experiencias. La terminación de una visa también determina el que tengamos que volar hacia nuevos horizontes. Generalmente vivimos entre 3 y 6 meses en cada lugar, así que podemos compartir mucho sobre lo que hemos aprendido tanto en preparación de viaje como en lo que implica vivir en lugares tan variados como Escocia, India, Turquía, Marruecos, Europa, etc
Is the buddhist district in Kathmandu, Nepal. After the Chinese invasion to Tibet in 1959, many Tibetan masters came to live and built their monasteries here.
Practitioners from all the world come here to practice meditation, study and debate complex philosophical texts and to receive the guidance and advice from living masters.
Our teacher Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche is the abbot of the White Monastery, which is also a university for westerners. Alma works for this institution, translating a study program into spanish.
Sechen Monastery is also nearby and is the home of renowned french scientist, monk and writer, Matthieu Ricard.
We are lucky to be in this place where thousands of people come to practice compassion, generosity, patience, discipline, concentration and wisdom.
The Korean monastery is located in an ancient town, Sravasti, where the Buddha spent several years of his life teaching and meditating. One of his disciples built phentermine a monastery for him and his followers, it was called Jetavana. The remains of it are frequently visited by pilgrims who stay in monasteries built around this area.
At the Korean monastery there is a Zen master who has great wisdom.
We would get up at 4am to meditate with Zen master silently until 5am. Then we would go to sit by the fire while we waited for the bell announcing breakfast. After the traditional prayer of the refuge we fed with exquisite Korean food cooked by an Indian cook.
At 8am we had tea with Zen Master sometimes over an apparently superficial topic of conversation, others in silence, but in the end he was always using whatever was arising in the present moment to give us a profound teaching.
At 10am we would recite the with the zen master whom we called Kun Sunim which means teacher in Korean. The sutra talks about wisdom and the immense merit that transmitting it has. Kun Sunim lives to transmit this wisdom in the same place where 2.500 years ago the Buddha first taught it to his disciples.
