Sera Mey Monastery

We arrived yesterday in Sera Mey Monastery in Mysore, South India. The weather is much much warmer here and it is much cleaner here. Up in Sera Mey, it is very very peaceful and just incredible. We were greeted by many monks (some of which we met in Bodh Gaya) who are taking very good care of us. They have housed us in their rooms and cook for us. I can't even explain in words how lucky and grateful I am to have had this opportunity to come here and have this experience. We are staying here for 2 more days and I wish that I could stay here much longer.

I am learning some Tibetan words here and there and many of the Vietnamese pilgrims really want me to learn the Tibetan language and maybe later help translate in English and Vietnamese. Just an idea that is up in the air, but something that I may one day consider. There are just so many things in life that I would like to do right now. I am definitely already thinking about my next destination ;-)

It's weird to think that in a couple days I have to go back to a very structured life of school and tennis. I am very excited to go back and see all of my family and friends though. I miss you all very much. Happy Vietnamese/Chinese New Year!
