But it was. So far ;-) I somehow felt, that it was time to go home. So many amazing experiences to digest. So many questions to think about. Aside from that I did something with good intentions but a total contrary result. After being at a Buddhist monastery for five weeks I thought it could be wise to follow an advice of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. And trying to resolve the problem needed my personal presence back home. I won&#8217;t go into details but His Holiness proved to be right.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When you realize you&#8217;ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">[Dalai Lama XIV]\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyhow, Nargakot was a fantastic place to leave for Germany.
