I’ll be going to India soon, yaey!!! But right now I’m trying to figure out if there is any way I can make a train reservation from Calcutta to Gaya from here… I’m afraid that I’ll have to wait in Calcutta for a few days before getting a train… So what will I be doing?
Well, my plan is to go to Bodhgaya to listen to teachings from H.H. the 17th Karmapa and then probably stay on for the Kalachakra initiation by H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama. I’m also hoping I get to see Sarnath and Lumbini - thus making it into a sort of pilgrimage. I’m quite excited by all this - I haven’t been in India for about 5 years and can hardly wait to get back…
