A Spiritual path to meditation.
The Kingdom of Bhutan is a haven for retreat and mediation with its peaceful and tranquil environment, sacred and holy sites. Over the centuries, great Buddhist scholars, saints, lamas, yogis, and teachers have come to this isolated Himalayan Kingdom to immerse themselves in meditation as an alternative way of living and in quest for the ultimate truth. The whole kingdom of Bhutan is considered as a ‘Baeyul’, a land hidden by Guru Rinpoche from evil spirits and more relevantly from the evils of modernization and consumerism. Moreover, Bhutan has numerous holy sites and caves blessed by Guru Rinpoche and many other learned saints.
There are small retreat centers and hermitages all over located near temples and monasteries high in the mountains. For the Buddhist practitioners and monks, it is a common trait for them to disappear amongst the hills and mountains for days, months and years. Meditation is an integral part of Buddhism, a journey into the self and time to reflect upon life and the whole purpose of life and death.
