Mihintale Monastery
A great visit to this 7th century Buddhist monastery was on todays agenda. We experienced meditation in our own cave. The wind was blowing gently, not a sound could be heard. Pure bliss. Later in the afternoon we visited the reservoir used by the monks and constructed to collect the natural rain water from the two surrounding hills. Several families were bathing or using the waters for beating their clothes clean against the rocks. We sat discussing literature about the formation while monkeys gathered and moved in closer, curious about us as we were about them.
