14. Report - 21/11/21 - The spoon

-

 

13 days have passed in the Sarguru Temple. I am feeling good here. The other volunteers are friendly. Maghesh has ideas every day to extend my stay again.

 It's time to move on.

 I update the blog in an internet café. I move on in the late afternoon. The atmospheric city of Palani presents even more beautiful facets of its versatile appearance.

 At the roadside, traders have spread tin goods on a sheet. I need a new spoon, but the quality of the street vendors is not good.

 Two men are standing in the shop across the street. They seem to have cutlery also. The one behind the counter seems to be the boss, because he orders his employee to show me all kinds of things. The boss obviously notices that I don't like the goods. His tone to the employee becomes louder, rougher, more unpleasant. I'm about to leave the store. Then the employee shows exactly what I'm looking for: a small, sturdy, stainless steel multifunctional spoon. The price is good.

 When I want to pay the boss, he is unexpectedly mild. I don't have to pay anything. - Strange. I thank him and briefly report on my pilgrimage. Apparently he suspected something like that and wants to know more. He shows himself from a completely different side; I suspect he was rude to his employee because he meant well to me. - He looks at me benevolently: He looks at me benevolently: Would I like to have a second spoon ?!

66. Report - My most beautiful temple

-
Image
At a junction is a tea stand. The owner asks me about my route and then definitely recommends a detour. There is said to be a famous, beautiful, important temple in Galne. I have to turn off the main road right behind his shop.   I like to turn onto the quieter street, even if it means a few kilometers of detour. The landscape is still calm with some rolling hills. Somehow it's nice here. Sri Gurudatta Parampara Sripad Vallabh Devasthan, Tingri Another strange temple appears halfway to Galne. I like beautiful architecture. The building here is oddly multi-storey. Curious, I go in - and after half a week I leave happy: It is the most beautiful temple building on my pilgrimage so far.   The family is also welcoming and the rituals and spiritual atmosphere are beneficial. What is missing is a spiritual authority. The founder and careful planner of this beautiful temple passed away suddenly. It crosses my mind two or three times whether I shouldn't stay here ...

1. Report - 5/11/21 - Departure in Bodhi Zendo

-

It hurts inside to walk away from the Bodhi Zendo. The 6 months of Zen practice have helped me advance internally. There is some risk in leaving the regular daily business of meditation. I dare to compare it with a child in the womb: Why leave this wonderful, warm, filling, sheltered place after nine months to risk an unknown existence ?! It is also an inconvenient time to leave because of the rainy season. I postpone my departure twice because the laundry won't dry on the line. And enriching conversations with other meditators arise every day. But now the next step has to take place. A Sesshin begins on Thursday evening for three days. I no longer take part in the meetings, try to be inconspicuous and feel "wrong" in my place. On Friday morning there were still two damp clothes hanging on the line. I break the rule and ask Peter, who is attending the Shessin, whether he can bring the dry laundry to the office in the afternoon. Sasikumar, the caretaker, will later bring t...

28. Report - 2 - 7/12/21 - First days in Kerala - HERE & NOW

-

The landscape of Kerala is very beautiful. I walk on picturesque streets. Many wind their way through small palm forests and through beautifully landscaped rice fields. Diverse views are offered to the eye. The monsoon is coming to an end - it hardly rains any more. At a great rock lake, I risk spending a night without a canopy. After a few hours it promptly begins to rain. The bags are protected under the large umbrella; I wrap myself and the mats in a large plastic sheet. The next morning the sun is shining. Occasionally men come to the lake, jump into the water, soap themselves on the bank, jump back into the water. There are many ponds here. Every day you see people washing clothes or soaping themselves up there. I also refresh then myself for a few minutes. It rains again briefly in one night - again I have to take refuge under a temple roof with my things. The remaining nights stay dry. It is now easier to find somewhere to sleep. The disadvantage of this independence is ...
