After this visit, we head to Boudhanath. we win the stupa of Boudhanath, mainly frequented by Tibetans. This imposing monument, the largest Buddhist sanctuary in Nepal, radiates a feeling of calm and power at the same time.
The crowd runs along the stupa in a clockwise direction, turning the "prayer wheels". These cylinders contain rolls of paper sheets or cloth ribbons, on which is written the mantra "Aum mani padme hum!" ("Glory to the jewel in the lotus flower").
The setting in motion of the mill is equivalent to the recitation of the psalmody. We visit a monastery, built near the stupa where we admire large statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva, as well as murals depicting the life of Buddha.
Our guide explains the different mudra, (codified gestures); the position of Buddha's hands suggests an attitude: meditation, compassion, taking the Earth to witness, etc.
