This is a map we made of the stupa, or chorten, in Boudha, Kathmandu. Our monastery is in blue on the bottom left of the map.

This is the Boudha chorten. It is a Buddhist place. Near the chorten are many monasteries: Kapan monastery, Jonang monastery, Porong monastery, Kagyu monastery, Nyingma monastery, Gelug monastery. Swayambhu is another very big chorten in Kathmandu. There are other chortens in Lumbini, Varanasi, Lhasa, and Bodh Gaya.

Our picnic during Losar break.

We ate momos, chilies, soup, apples, oranges, capse, biscuits, and tea.
