In the sacred halls of Bodnath, the majestic dome of the stupa rises like a watchful guardian over the souls that wander through the centuries in search of enlightenment. The mighty presence of the stupa stretches into the sky, while its whitewashed walls tell of the devotion and faith of the believers who flock here in search of peace and spiritual fulfilment.
At the top of the dome rest the "all-seeing eyes of Buddha", which watch over the land and its inhabitants with silent wisdom. Their gaze penetrates time and the boundaries of existence, and their pupils reflect the infinite universe, whose secrets are only revealed to true seekers.
Surrounded by prayers and mantras whispering on the wind, I feel the presence of an age-old wisdom watching over mortals and guiding them on their spiritual path. The air is filled with a sense of reverence and respect as I climb the steps of the stupa and approach the sanctum sanctorum.
Here, under the watchful gaze of the Buddha, I feel the unity of past, present and future united in the layered stones and shining eyes of the stupa. It is a place of silence and peace, where the soul finds tranquillity and the wisdom of the universe is captured in every breath.
