@prefervege: The monastery was approx. 30 min from MLG. We took a taxi van as we had a group-.- we either paid 500rp OW or RT (can’t remember) I would suggest taking finding friends or posting an ad for people to share a taxi over. Also, Norbelinka Institute is on the way; you could hit both.

I would have loved to have the opportunity to see the Karmapa.

I was in Mcleod Ganj last year a few days before the Dalai Lama gave a series of lectures – I unfortunately had to get back down to Delhi so couldn’t stay for them but the atmosphere was electric.

What an experience that was! I’m glad you wrote about it. It was so powerful. As you said, it felt like, in an instant, he could see with crystal clarity every aspect of my soul and every life I’ve ever lived. BAM! It was stunning. I wanted to know what he saw. I, too, walked out in a daze.

I think I still need to do a little more reading to figure out the difference between the two. Hope you enjoy the visit though. Looks very interesting.
