I ride past the Sakya Monastery twice a day when I go to a tutoring gig at North Seattle College. It's no longer incongruous to see these rows of prayer wheels among the modest bungalows in this North Seattle neighborhood. Sometimes I see a monk sunning on the temple steps but today it was simply me and my bike among the bodhisattvas.
Reminds me both of China and Nepal. I hope to visit Tibet in the next few years when I am in a happier and more stable period of my life. Until then, I'll quietly whisper "Namaste" as I pass by on my bike. It's a little meditation.
