With my best friend I went to see a high school friend in a bouddhist place next Bordeaux. We stayed there two days, and these days were really strange.
Few times in a day this bell rings and everyone stopped in order to take time to breath in silence. For my friend and me it was very difficult to respect, because we were not there to do this sort of things...
The garden was very asiatic and the nuns and the monks were vietnamese for the most part of them. It was very funny to hear vietnamese language in France, I was used to hear it in Kaohsiung but not in France like that.
With my two friends we go to visit Dieulivol, it is the place where her Plum village stands. The church, catholic this time, is very old and beautiful.
Just next the church you can see a very old tree. They put it for the celebration of the end of the first world war in 1918.
In each village (4 villages) you can hear this big bell, and see some nuns and monks with their vietnamese hat. They are smiling all the time and are very calm. When we came back in Lyon we felt a bit bad because after two days in this quiet and serene atmosphere it was difficult to feel where in the huge city as Lyon...
We took the cheapest train, 7 hours to go through France... it was like crossing the country in a tramway... so slowly!
And the train was really small, some persons have to stand up during hours... stupid SNCF!!! 749 km stand up, I coulnd't do that, that's why my fabulous and smart best friend thought to make a reservation. It was a very good idea because we travelled with a cello and a guitar!
