Might there be a way of avoiding the mad and maddening crowds that descend upon this very special energy center each day? Is there a way to sample something of the quiet solitude enjoyed, at least part of the time, by the few monks who live there?
Sometimes you’ve got to just scrunch down there with the dogs to understand their world…
