zendo

what would be life without a walk in the clouds and tea houses to curl up and read books..or without community living learning world cultures and the art of war--the zendo style where ur mind is trained for peace..
an early bus from blore to kodai drops u at perumalmalai n u hike or walk the farm n reach the zen retreat..after a needed sleep and lunch u get into the meditation cycle..n do ur bit of work..i ve been a gardener tending exotic salad farms, did dish washing for kitchen utensils and now part of their school for destitutes in the valley..
a day in the life is sitting in the pine surrounded glass bay windowed hall, treating to organic food, reading and walkin..n u emerge vibrant..
my first visit was a challenge and the monkey in the head was a riot..now the centre is a second home..i go to kodai for my bread, cake and chocolates and the city is sooo beautiful..
heres hoping to be there soon
