the day after i got back from thailand i went to a three-week fellowship at a buddhist retreat in montana. my heart is so open, i met a lot of beautiful souls. no phones, just meditation, laughter, tears, and noble silence.
i read two books while i was there. one called radical dharma, and the other called healing anger, which is a transcription of lessons the Dalai Lama taught in 2005. highly recommend them both.

When I was in the depths of heartbreak, I thought I’d go insane from the pain/spirals in my mind. I started meditating to try to confront it.
I then found out about a free 10 day retreat that has locations all over the world called VIPASSANA.
Its the hardest thing I’ve ever done but it cured my heart break, eradicated fear and established spiritual awareness.
No human can fulfill our deep need for love… only a higher power can do that.

I love your story! Volunteering is such a beautiful & meaningful experience, I think more people should embrace it.
My experience was a trip I took to Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan. I was 16 at the time questioning my religion (I grew up Catholic & went to a private Catholic school that went to church every Friday). Our tour guide took us to a museum where there was a picture of Buddha & an unknown man who they believe was Jesus. It was at that moment & during the entire trip that I started to realize that I can practice my religion any way I want because at the end of the day, fundamentally, religion is about being a good person. I no longer go to church and use meditation as a form of prayer :)

smoke a blunt. say goodbye to ur lover that you have been with every day for three years. fight back tears and weed paranoia. get lost as soon as you walk into the airport. run into ur partners cheating ass homeboy at his tsa job. get ur hair stuck in ur bag and have a tsa agent get it unstuck. get ur sunscreen and bugspray confiscated. drop your half gallon metal water bottle in the middle of the walkway and spill it everywhere. have your eyebrows bleached so you forget and wonder why everyone is looking at you crazy all day.
i am a survivor.
