Namaste and welcome to this bedtime story on finding peace of mind through Buddhist wisdom. 

Join me on my spiritual quest to the Monkey Temple in Kathmandu. We will explore ancient teachings and learn meditative practices to cultivate inner calm and stillness amidst the chaos of modern life.

We’re at the Monkey Temple again, this time to explore the Stupa with its 4 sides. The Temple, has four sides, facing in the 4 cardinal directions, each side representing one of the Buddha families.

Today I’m focussing on the eastern side of the stupa, the Vajra Family. This family represents the transformation of anger into mirror-like wisdom. Vajra is associated with the element of water and is often depicted with a blue colour.
