Buddhist Wisdom Quotes

“Breath by breath, let go of fear, expectation, anger, regret, cravings, frustration, fatigue. Let go of the need for approval. Let go of old judgments and opinions. Die to all that, and fly free. Soar in the freedom of desirelessness.

Let go. Let Be. See through everything and be free, complete, luminous, at home -- at ease.”

“Thamel"

A narrative written by Avijeet Das

The feelings of Paarijat linger as an epiphany
and the smoke and aroma of incense sticks welcome you into a dream land.

Myriad Thanka paintings splash colors in your eyes and the melodious chants of the Buddhist monks add tranquility to your heart.

Cafes and restaurants mushroom here all the year round as does the grass in the valley around Kathmandu.

While drifting in these lanes of Thamel, you feel like Alice in Wonderland, discovering the magic of hand crafted wooden sculptures, pashminas and yak wool shawls.

And meeting foreign tourists from all around the world, smiling and greeting you a "Namaste" will serenade you with the fragrance
of Nepal, intoxicating one and all!”
― Avijeet Das
