Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery, Day 3
    So yeah . . . I had to check out today. Check out was by 11am. And, yeah . . . we had to take our dirty linen to the laundry, which was in the same building block as Tashi Deleg, so not really far to go. During the morning session (from 10am to 12:30),  Ali took us to the main temple and explained a lot about Buddhism and all the ephemera arranged around the temple, the statues, the decorations, the gongs . . . everything. All very interesting. I'm not even sure if we did much meditation . . . if we did, it was only briefly.
|    There was an afternoon session (from 2pm through to 16:30 or thereabouts), but I felt like I had received enough meditation tuitions . . . all was right with the world, so now was the right time to head back. I took a slightly different journey back, going via Langholm. Really, this wasn't actually going out of my way . . . sat-nav should have given this route as an option, as there wasn't really much in it . . . going via Moffat or Langholm, so yeah . . . Those last two pictures there were taken in Langholm, as I had been gathering a few pebbles as per Ani's recommendations: the most blandest, non-descript, dull pebbles you can find. I had some chilli-con-carne at the Crown Hotel, which was fantastic. I've eaten here a few times now. Love it.
