If you are interested in Knowing yourself and discover for yourself a place that is rich in love and compassion
I strongly recommend to Visit, The Bodhi Tree which is the place where the Buddha Reach enlightenment.
just from Witnessing the monks coming to meditate every day on a schedule. creates a certain peace in the heart that you will wish you can take this place back with you home to America.
The Food, eating with the locals and also know that the Dollar goes pretty far in Gaya, India. where you can eat all day for 5 dollars. You can get Rides for 50 cents. and to experience a culture that is rich with compassion, and appreciation for life.
