Meditating at Boudhanath teaches us something unexpected.
You don’t come to see the Buddha Eyes. You come to see yourself in them.
They reflect fear.
They reflect devotion.
They reflect distraction.
They reflect attention.
Not “who we want to be”… but who we are, in this moment.
Tell me, what do you think the Eyes would notice in you right now?

In Kushinagar, this Buddha sits in complete stillness.
For centuries people have knelt before him, carrying questions, hopes, regrets, and restless minds.
He does not speak, yet the silence around him feels like a teaching.
Sit with this Buddha long enough and something begins to change.
The breath evens out.
The thoughts loosen their grip.
The moment becomes enough.
A simple truth rises in the quiet:
Peace begins when you stop arguing with the present moment.
Take a slow breath and look at the image for a moment.
What does it stir in you?

Witnessing this moment here in Lumbini, Nepal, the birthplace of the Buddha, something hit me…
You can stand in a place this sacred and still feel your mind racing, your thoughts spinning, your past tugging at you. And somehow, the quiet here doesn’t push the mind away, it just shows you what’s really going on inside.
Being here reminded me that peace isn’t something you find, it’s something you understand.
And sometimes you only understand it when you’re honest about the chaos you carry.
If you’re new here, welcome.
If you’ve been with me on this journey, thank you for walking it with me.
Has a place ever made you see yourself differently?
I’d love to hear it.

Some places don’t just sit on the Earth… they sit inside you.
Swayambhu reminded me that the real journey is always inward.
📍 Kathmandu, Nepal
Sometimes all it takes is standing in a sacred place for the mind to finally slow down enough to listen. I felt that here.
(More Nepal stories coming soon.)
May all sentient beings be free from suffering.

We suffer in silence until someone teaches us how the mind works. This is where that teaching began.
Today, the new documentary premieres on the channel titled The Birth of Buddhism: A Journey Into the Mind, Suffering, and Liberation. Filmed at the Dhamek Stupa in Sarnath, India, where the Buddha spoke his first teaching and where Buddhism began. From this place, a thread reaches into the modern mind and reveals how suffering forms and how it can be released. This film is something different. It is not a scholastic lecture. It is a psychological and transformative journey created for a new generation of seekers. Most documentaries tell you what happened. This one lets you feel it. It shifts perspective, blurs inner and outer worlds, and pulls you through the psychological terrain the Buddha mapped. It is made for the seekers who are waking up now.
This premiere is something you will not want to miss.
When it premieres:
Make tea, find stillness, and take this trip with me. Bring an open mind, questions, and your curiosity. Let us grow together through truth.

“They say the Ganga washes away lifetimes…
But what about the weight we carry in this one?”
This is Varanasi — the city beyond life and death.
Where flames never stop burning…
And the river never stops forgiving.
🎥 The new documentary is now live on the channel.
Let it wash over you. Let it make you feel something.
✨Have you ever been to a place that changed the way you see the world?
Drop it in the comments — I want to hear your stories.
