It was a pleasant surprise seeing my meditation teacher at the same course. It’s great to see him as we have had only a chance to meet up once after the Nepal trip. Time really flies when everyone gets busy.

When he saw me, he immediately commented that I glowed. I laughed. Indeed. When your spirit is free to pursue its true calling, you can’t feel any other emotion but happiness. Pure happiness.

Then he told me he had something to share with me and pulled me aside.

Being the obedient student I was, I followed the teacher to a corner of the hall. This was when he revealed the truth.

Nepal was a test for me. At Nepal, I learnt three lessons.

First, determination.

Yes, I was really put to the test. I had to go vegetarian for the meditation trip. Then there was the need to continue going vegetarian for the next 1 month after return.

The chilly mornings and nights, coupled with the hot afternoons was enough to throw my skin into disarray. I suffered from ultra dry skin when I returned and no matter how much moisturiser I used, my skin still felt it needed more hydration.

Second, patience.

Something unfortunate happened during the Nepal trip. As it was highly personal and sensitive, I have not blogged about it. I chose to forgive and forget the incident. I also bless the actor involved.

Third, clarity.

Nepal set my life direction up so clearly that when I returned, I knew what actions to take immediately. After I took action, I started attracting positive things into my life.

Though the months and years may fly by, I will always have fond beautiful memories of Nepal. Nepal transformed me and allowed me to be reborn. Thank you.
