Its possible, I've been in a state beyond this, including thought patterns each days, for a few months... And that was even while running 2 companies and more or less taking charge of a retreat center.
But then dropping out of that state happened gradually, of course... ;-)
So all I know is that it is possible, I guess!
I know you've been to the Himalyas!
I actually have my Home there.
Thanks for your response! 🙏

Its been years ago since I started killing off any jealousy in my mind, but I just cannot help it right now hahaha!
Although I've only been there a few times it actually feels very much like home for me, especially Boudhanath... I just know I've been there in some previous existence :-)
reply
You can be jealous. I won't mind it. I know I've been lucky to be born here!
Why do you like Boudhanth so much? I mean for the monastery or the Himalyas!
reply
I was drawn into Tibetan Buddhism on autopilot in 94/95, that changed everything :-)
Will be back there very soon unless something puts a stop to it!
reply
Buddhism, I see. That's great!
When you come just keep us updated. We can also have a small SN meetup!

Oh, you're in Kathmandu or Nepal? Certainly!
Actually I'm planning to be for at least 3 months, ideally renting as super cheap room, from the country I'm in now I can easily come & go 2-3 times a year.
Might even be doing a business visa, time will show...

No, I'm from India but I'm super close to western Nepal. My home is on the one side of a river that separates India and Nepal. You know we travel freely to Nepal without Visa or passport. The Himalyas in the western side of Nepal and India are also super cool! If you like, you can come to India this time. Let me be your happy mate while we can do hiking, camping, trekking in the most beautiful of all the Himalyas!

Ah, I see! I hope to be in Lumbini at the end of November, when Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche is doing the first fall seminar there :-)
The last time I attended that was also the last time Urgyen Tulku was alive as well...
Ideally I'd like to get a motorbike too, just need to figure out how things work when skipping drivers license, insurance and all of that haha!
