Client comments:

My reflection of this journey, where I have walked the Kora, visited the Temples, sat in meditation, listened to talks that are really lessons worth noting, brief encounters with awesome Buddhists, has enlarged my enormous  “Tool Box” to enable me to use and enrich my life and grow more.

I think my feet are finally on the ground.  I am not sure what the universe is trying to tell me but I feel that acceptance is the greatest lesson I will take from this journey.  Be it people, material things or emotional baggage – acceptance, acceptance, acceptance – and try not to change the world in this lifetime.

Thank you for a wonderful, intellectually stimulating, and well prepared trip. Thank you for opening my mind to a whole new world with its own sets of problems, ideas, rituals, ambience and thought processes. It has been a real eye opener and left me with lots to think about.
