I never thought at the age of 70 I will travel to Dharamshala trip with meditation teacher and my wish to see Dalai Lama will be fulfilled in Dharamshala tour . I live in Washington DC and my name is Ming. One of my friend was going to India in Dharamshala to learn Buddhism & meditation with Meditation & Mental health coach Sandeep through best travel agent. I was skeptical that at this age, will I be able to learn Hatha yoga & Buddhist meditation on this india small group tour  with meditation teacher. 

I spoke to Akash over the phone in India tour about my concerns related to this yoga tour. He shared with me the names & testimonials of previous travellers who went to this foothills of Himalayas tour on yoga trip. I was convinced that I will get very new experience on this Dharamshala tour with meditation teacher. I started my packing after making the payment of the India tour to indiahistoricaltours.com website. I was going to see four cities of India in 8 days First was Delhi, then fly to Dharamshala and drive to Mandi and last Manali (Queen of Mountains).

I loved my young Meditation & mental health coach Sandeep on this Himalayas trip. He is forty years old and father of two daughters. But his wisdom is that like he is living on the earth for 1000 years and know in and out about Human mind, mental health, Metabolism, Yoga, meditation , relationships and many more subjects. He specially taught me techniques according to my age and designed the stretching program according to my body requirements on this Himalaya trip. We had other group members too from age of 40 to 75. I was not the senior most Ha ha ha ha ahah 

I felt in love the surroundings of Dharamshala. All small town is covered with cedar trees. It is also called Scotland of India because of its weather & surroundings similarity to Scotland. We flew from Delhi to Dharamshala. It was one hour & 30 minutes flight. It is totally different than Delhi. People are simple and chanting every time. I never saw these many Buddhist monks together. Dalai Lama lives here and used to train monks into Tibetan Buddhism. Now he does not do teaching much. 

When Sandeep explained the story of struggle of Dalai Lama. I started weeping.  He was only 24 when he escaped to India from China occoupied Tibet. Hindus of India accepted him and his followers in Dharamshala with open heart. Hindu people accept all religious people across the world. That time he thought in one or two months he will return to his Buddhist Kingdom of Tibet. But it never happened and now he is 89 years old. 65 years of suffering and lonliness this Buddhist monk has suffered along with his seventy thousand monks. 

Dharamshala seems to be very peaceful and calm town. Monks seems happy and are always ready to talk with you.  We went for Kora walk. It is a walk around the Hill where all devotees circumambulate. I saw 95 years old men & women doing this 4 kms long circumambulation. What a Spirit. We spoke to few devotees and found out that Dalai Lama is considered as incarnation of GOD AVLOKITESHVRA. Avlokiteshra is Chief God of Tibetan Buddhism. He was also the incarnation of Gautam Buddha. 

 I have lost my heart to Dharamshala.
