Happy New Years!

In Bodhgaya, place of Buddha's enlightenment.
Basically a village, with the Mahabodhi Temple to the side surrounded by a tiny market center and some two story buildings. Different temples and monasteries from every buddhist culture are scattered around. The Mahabodhi Temple marks the site where Buddha actually attained enlightenment and there is definately a special energy in this place. There Buddhists from all over the world circling the grounds and doing their own practice.
Karmapa gave three days of teachings and also gave the refuge and bodhisattva vows. Very special.
The monlam starts tomorrow.
My New Years Resolution: Attain enlightenment for the benefit of all beings :)
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new years, with love and blessings from Bodhgaya.

ps my train from varanasi was nine hours late!
