so this one is for the hiking fans yesterday as we rode back to the hotel from the main village where we had dinner there we saw this beautiful monastery on top of a mountain with lights really beautiful and we found out later that it is a Buddhist monastery where you can talk with the Buddhist where you can get to know the basically the life of a Buddhist the principles of Buddhism and so on so on so we decided to do a hiking from the base of the mountain to the top it's more less than one hour hiking to get to the ministry less than one hour hiking to get to the monastery and see what is there for us so let's see Dudes, let me tell you something you know that you are getting old when in the middle of your hiking your knees your knee start to give up whatever as you can see we are in the middle of the mountain 3 km above and you may not know but Lipton the iced tea company has tea plantations here in Sri Lanka a lot of tea plantations I don't know if you can see but all of these we have a lot of plantations surrounding us in the mountains how cool is this right so let's get to the top and hope that both needs don't fell on me Actually, Buddhism first of all Buddhism means the teaching of the buddha so there are four noble truth, okay? Suffering the reason of suffering and removing the reason and the path 4 things He explains in this life we have to die, we have, you know... the get sick we have to faced a lot of suffering in this world when we use our body and mind so he explained the main reason is craving for each because we crave to suffer? for example, now, do you have a child example okay do you have a child... there is some child... when your child die you feel very sad because you attach your child when a child die you don't feel like that you think the child is dead okay like because you feel much when your child die okay he explained that is the reason if you get attached to something that thing create suffering yeah therefore he explains we should remove the attachments every attachment to this world okay interior and exterior there is a far point, this is called the noble 8 fold path We have to follow it so this is the main thing in Buddhism yeah so this place it's kind of mystical and magic it's a place of meditation a place where the monks live they live on top of the mountain you can imagine the peace that they are able to feel and it was a really good experience we get to know a monk and we talked about the Buddhism and the principles of Buddhism which was great a lot of purpose behind the Buddhism you can see in the video later so yeah now we are going back to the hotel and the monk actually he invited us to the to the prayer time and the meditation time and the chanting so I think tomorrow we will try to come again and I will be a pleasure to show you guys guys I needed to come here all by myself Natacha is working, just to witness this this is magical as you can hear the prayers already the chantings already started and I think it's super immersive uh it's beautiful this is the perfect end of the day we just witness something beautiful very important for the culture of Buddhism the to chantings you can see a lot of people inside the the temple I I don't I don't recall the name but it's like some sort of a temple they pray to this tree at the tree of life and they all gather around all the families comes here and pray with a monk to this tree and I think it's a beautiful moment I mean it's a moment for you to reflect on your life and something like that so yeah and we got to witness as well this breath taking view as you can see the colors on the background so I think we want to call it for a day
