Conditions not ideal - it was dark as I walked up the path and no, I was not in Nepal or India. However, got that same buzz from being in the presence of the Buddha. Chanting Om Mani Padme Om 108 times I left Shambala Mountain Centre with a smile on my face and in my heart. Amazing Northern Colorado Scenery on the way to Red Feather Lakes, and even some deer, buffalo & antelope. What access! Grab those opportunites!! Om Shanti!
