A Special Day In Pangboche

October 18, 2015

Not every day on the trek needs to be a marathon.  Today, the team woke up in Tengboche and only had to trek for about 4 hours.  It is a nice walk with Ama Dablam keeping the team company most of the way.

The Team pulled into Pangboche and had a good lunch and after lunch visited Lama Geshe.  This is when the fireworks started.  “Amazing!”  This was the word from both Cedric and Craig as they chuckled.  Lama Geshe has this way of telling the Team a story and laughing.  Without having a complete understanding of what he is saying, you still find yourself laughing and having fun with him.

The team was sharing the afternoon with Lama Geshe when a visitor stopped in to say hello.  The visitor was a Lama Reincarnate.  This is a very special occasion.  Very nice.

On this day, we had a surprise awaiting our team and a married couple.  Lama Geshe performed a Puja Ceremony in honor of the couple’s Wedding Anniversary.  Congratulations!

It was a beautiful day outside and the mountains were out and showing their greatness as well!
