Nepal- Kathmandu Part 3

Bouda Monastary
The stupa

Prayer flags around the stupa- Alex was recently building what he used to call towers with blocks and when I asked him if he was building a tall tower, he said no, I'm building a stupa..
Prayer wheels around the stupa- Om Mani Padme Hum
There are some in Nepal that believe the wind created by the beating wings of pigeons is good for a child's respiratory system. Many people will feed the birds and then let their children run around in the midst of the birds.

The Buddhist monks were chanting

We turned the great payer wheel
