WANDEROUS🇳🇵 Swayambhunath Temple: Kathmandu’s Spiritual Crown

We venture to Swayambhunath, the ancient hilltop temple overlooking Kathmandu. From vivid art to serene moments beneath the massive stupa, this site radiates myth and meaning. Revered as one of Nepal’s most sacred pilgrimage spots, it invites deep reflection, but don’t expect enlightenment. In the final segment, we explore what humility (and noisy inner voices) can teach us during meditation.Show Notes🎥 YouTube Short: The intense moment I mention where people feed the monkeys… and almost get bitten!🎭 Masks & Mythology: A YouTube Short of the wild, colorful masks I found near the stupa.✨ Temple Cleanse: A short video of the temple being lovingly cleaned and a glimpse of the huge vajra in front of the stupa. This one really captures the golden late-afternoon ambiance.🪷 Temple Walk: A lighthearted video of me exploring the temple grounds and explaining the myth of the giant lotus that formed the hill itself.🧘 Spoken Dharma: A video of a serene Buddha statue while someone nearby explains Buddhism basics, a cool and spontaneous moment.🚗 Rideshare Tips: Use Pathao or InDrive to get around Kathmandu affordably. That’s how I got to Swayambhu, quickly and cheaply.🛝 FOR SUPPORTERS: Exclusive Swayambhunath photos drop Wednesday (30 of them!) on my Patreon.
