My visit to the Nubra valley during His Holiness's weeklong visit was an unforgetable moment. His Holiness's discourse was highly enlightening. The people were very warm hearted and receptive. every pilgrims were looked after very nicely, even free accommodation and fooding were provided...... At the end of the day, some thoughts come to my mind... that ironically if it been in Leh, one may even ask money for water too, forget about accommodation and fooding. I hope all the pilgrims might have been highly inspired to behave like a good human beings.
May Gyawa Chamba shower his utmost blessings on us. |
