    • Abstract:
      On August 1, 2007, I returned to Ladakh, the highest altitude plateau region of India, which crosses part of the Himalayas and is situated in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir (see Rizvi, 1996), to carry on my ethnographic fieldwork on everyday interactions in a Buddhist monastery by living with monks in the remote monastery of Rizong, participating in their life, and increasingly experiencing my mind as traveling within itself (see also Brummans, 2007). What follows is my poetic account of this continued experience, deriving renewed insights, and again drawing on field notes, diary entries, and several recorded conversations with teachers and monks.
