Ling Shan Hermit: Can a Holy Land Cleanse One's Soul?
As a Buddhist, a question that I often get asked is whether visiting places rich in Buddhist culture, such as Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan, truly purifies the soul. Well, if you're traveling for pleasure, these destinations offer a great experience. You can enjoy your time, absorb the unique local atmosphere, and witness life under different cultures. But if you believe that staying in these places for some time can cleanse your soul, you might end up disappointed.
Many practitioners around me dedicate a large portion of their day to spiritual practices. They have stayed with me for many years, with the Buddhist teachings washing over them daily. Yet, many of them have just begun to grasp the concept of practice. So, those who believe that circling around Bodh Gaya or Mount Kailash will elevate their souls are seen as outsiders by true practitioners. I do not believe that any place possesses the power to cleanse the soul. (Of course, some holy sites provide blessings, but these blessings are clearly not enough to cause a dramatic transformation.)
If a place truly possessed such magical powers, then its inhabitants would have already achieved enlightenment—given that they receive this 'baptism' daily. In reality, most of them are just like you, having human weaknesses and exhibiting greed, anger, and ignorance, possessing various scheming thoughts, and playing all sorts of games. However, most people are deceived by the facade. Many go to Nepal, Bhutan, or Bodh Gaya. They spend only a brief time there. They do not understand the local language, and the locals do not understand theirs. But the locals know that these visitors have something they desire. To get what they want, they will put on the appearance that the visitors expect to see. Thus, you see plenty of devout appearances, but not the calculation and strife hidden beneath this devout exterior.
Certainly, you can go to India, Bhutan, or any Buddhist holy land. You can travel, but don't expect that simply being there will change you in any way. Soul cleansing is a time-consuming and strenuous process. The daily practices of spiritual practitioners equate to soul cleansing. If you genuinely intend to undertake this task, it demands a lot of time, energy, and endurance of great suffering. You will also need to abandon many things you hold dear—like dignity and face. Furthermore, you must have a genuine teacher who takes responsibility for guiding you.
As humans, we have incredibly strong habits. The Diamond Sutra states that only a weapon like a vajra, or diamond, can shatter our robust and rigid habits. Therefore, only through long-term practice under the guidance of a true teacher can you possibly effect any changes. You cannot expect that a single trip to a holy land will eradicate all your clinging, nor can you expect to attain enlightenment simply by having a guru lay a hand on your head. (In history, only a very few great masters have had such experiences. But such occurrences are unlikely to happen to ordinary people.) If it were so simple, then the whole set of practice methods Buddhism has prepared to counteract our dichotomous habits would be a complete waste of time.
Of course, going to any new place, seeing new things, and meeting new people theoretically can bring about some improvements in mood. If you label this as soul cleansing, then I agree that visiting these places can cleanse the soul. But this type of cleansing can be achieved equally well by going to the Alps or Hangzhou.

The Uttar Pradesh ATS interrogated the Indo-Pak couple Seema and Sachin.
On Monday, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (UP ATS) interrogated Seema Ghulam Haider, a resident of Pakistan, and Sachin Meena, her husband from India. They were questioned by the ATS in Noida at an undisclosed location, according to a senior official of the UP Police.

"ATS is investigating the possibility of espionage and the woman's passage through Nepal to India. To determine if the woman is a "spy" or not, they are being questioned. But they were not detained," the senior official said.
Outdoor Gym Equipment Manufacturer
The Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (UP ATS) were requested in a previous letter by the Gautam Buddha Nagar police to look into the evidence they had gathered so far.
Outdoor Gym Equipment Manufacturer
In accordance with Sections 14 of the Foreigners Act, 120B and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, as well as Sections 3, 4, and 5 of the Passport Act of 1920, Seema (age 27) was detained on July 4 along with Sachin Meena (age 22) and his father (age 59) for entering India "illegally" and giving the woman shelter.
Every single one of the three received a 14-day court order. On July 7, they were later granted bail.
Officials claimed that Seema and Sachin had their first in-person encounter in March and had stayed in a hotel in Kathmandu for seven days. With her four children, Seema visited Nepal once more. Later, she traveled to Mohalla Ambedkar Nagar in Rabupura, Greater Noida, where she has been residing unlawfully since May 13.
Outdoor Gym Equipment Manufacturer
Seema stated that she wants to live with Sachin after being let out of prison. Three years prior, Seema met Sachin while playing PUBG and the two immediately fell in love.
“I started playing PUBG in early 2020… I liked how Sachin played the game, so I initiated a conversation and we became friends. Slowly our friendship turned to love and we looked into the possibility of meeting. Sachin didn't have a passport, but I did. After learning that Indian citizens could visit Nepal without a visa, we made the decision to meet there. In an earlier interview, Seema stated, "We first met in March and later got married at the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu before returning to our respective countries. My kids stayed at my uncle's house in the interim.
Justice Nazim Akbar, Jewar Civil Judge (Junior Division), who granted bail to Seema, Sachin, and Netrapal, had stated that the case is punishable with imprisonment up to five years; therefore, in light of orders from the Supreme Court and the rules of the Allahabad High Court, the bail application is eligible to be accepted.

The Rise of Digital Remittance: Why Digital Remittance is Overtaking Traditional Money Transfer?
The rise of digital remittance has been a game-changer in the world of money transfer. The traditional way of sending money across the border, which were once the norm, is slowly losing its relevance. Not only the digital remittance has introduced a new way of money transfer but it has also brought a better way of sending money for many reasons. People who migrated years ago have probably found and drawn attention to their preferred method of sending money to their family members back home. When traditionally sending money, the receiver would need to visit and queue at a bank or an exchange agent to receive funds sent by their relatives overseas.
Not only this but during the time of the global pandemic, sending money the traditional way has been so difficult. Many exchange agencies and banks have found it difficult to operate under lockdown restrictions. Moreover, people were not able to leave their homes to either send or receive money due to the travel restrictions made during the pandemic caused due to COVID-19. Thus, the people that have been using traditional channels had to switch to alternative ways of sending money. In this article, we will explore the reasons behind the rise of digital remittance and why it is overtaking traditional money transfers.
What is Digital Remittance?
In the simplest term, Digital remittance is a form of money transfer that allows individuals to send money from one country to another using digital channels such as online platforms and mobile applications. However, digital remittance doesn’t involve sending cash funds directly. Instead, the money is sent using a digital wallet and a bank account. It eliminates the need for physical visits to a brick-and-mortar money transfer operator, and the recipient can receive funds directly into their bank account or mobile wallet.
The Rise of Digital Remittance
Over the past decade, digital remittance has experienced significant growth, and its popularity continues to rise. According to the reports from The World Bank reported in 2020, remittances to low and middle-income countries reached a record high of $540 billion. The prior reason for this massive growth is due to the Covid-19 pandemic which has accelerated the shift toward digital remittance. During lockdowns and travel restrictions, people have faced difficulties to transfer money through traditional money transfer and have to opt for another reliable process.
In the context of Nepal, the inflow of remittance stood at Rs. 1.007 trillion in 2022 according to the reports from Nepal Rastra Bank. With a significant rise in remittance earnings, it has contributed 20.8% of the country’s GDP.
Likewise, in the first five months of the current fiscal year, migrant workers have already sent home Rs. 480.5 billion in remittances. The number increased by 23% compared to the same period of the previous year. Over 2.1 million Nepali citizens which is equal to 7.4% of the country's total population, are thought to be living abroad, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics. In addition to this, 347,340 new and re-entry labor permits were issued in the first five months of the current fiscal year which is a daily average of 2,315. With these numbers increasing massively, there is no doubt that the inflow of remittance through the digital channel will grow parallelly.
Reasons for the Rise of Digital Remittance
For millions of families around the world, remittances are a crucial source of income. Without remittance, families in a developing country would face serious difficulties. While using traditional bank-to-bank remittance, is a very slow process. It may take up to five business days to complete the process or even longer. Apart from this, the receiving banks can sometimes delay the transaction by 2-4 days for funds to be released to customers. Also, you will only have limited access while sending money through the traditional process as exchange agencies, and banks usually have limited opening hours. On another hand, sending money in the traditional way is time-consuming. Both sender and receiver have to wait and stand in line while sending and receiving money. Due to this reason, there are greater benefits to using digital remittance. Below are some reasons for using digital remittance over traditional.
Convenience
Digital remittance is convenient as it allows individuals to send money from the comfort of their homes or offices. The recipient can also receive the funds directly into their bank account or mobile wallet, eliminating the need for physical visits to money transfer operators.
Affordability
Digital remittance is more affordable compared to traditional money transfer methods. The fees charged by digital remittance providers are significantly lower than those charged by brick-and-mortar money transfer operators. This is because digital remittance providers have lower operating costs, and these cost savings are passed on to the customers in the form of lower fees.
Speed
Digital remittance is faster compared to traditional money transfer methods. It takes only a few minutes for the sender to initiate a transaction, and the recipient can receive the funds within minutes or hours, depending on the provider and the receiving country.
Security
Digital remittance is more secure compared to traditional money transfer methods. The use of digital channels reduces the risk of loss or theft of cash, which is a common problem with traditional money transfer methods. Digital remittance providers also have robust security measures in place to protect customer data and transactions.
Accessibility & Competitive Advantage
Digital remittance is more accessible compared to traditional money transfer methods. The availability of online platforms and mobile applications makes it easier for individuals to access digital remittance services, regardless of their location or time zone. Likewise, digital remittance providers are leveraging technology to gain a competitive advantage over traditional money transfer operators. They are constantly innovating and improving their services to meet the evolving needs of their customers.

Nepal Bans Visitors From Trekking Alone
Leave a Comment / Travel Guides / By Admin
Visitors in Nepal are now banned from trekking alone. It is now mandatory for travelers looking to hike across Nepal’s stunning remote landscapes to hire a licensed guide or go with a group, the government announced just yesterday.
Five years ago, Nepal banned foreigners from scaling Mount Everest without a sanctioned escort. Now 5 years later (In April), the new policy takes effect.
There are eight of the world’s 10 tallest mountains in this largely isolated Himalayan nation, nestled between giants India and China.
The country’s isolation and inaccessibility-which has preserved its mystifying ancient culture and pristine natural surroundings-makes the country so popular with backpackers from around the world.
It is one of the largest contributors to the country’s tourism-based economy, but the cost of running search-and-rescue missions when solo hikers become lost or stuck is extremely high.

Aside from unlicensed guides and tour companies, Lamichhane said that unlicensed outfits also cause problems. Since such outfits do not pay taxes, they steal jobs from legitimate local Nepalese.
In some cases, the trekking association has requested us to stop unauthorized trekking operations. This has been a long-standing demand from tourism associations….he said
He believes the new regulations make sense, according to Ian Taylor, the owner of a reputable trekking company in Nepal. Due to the growing number of tourists attempting difficult climbs and expeditions in the region, such measures have become necessary, he said.
“The region has drastically changed over the years,” he explained. “You used to see only experienced hikers and climbers in the region, many of whom traveled without guides and were completely self-sufficient.”
According to him, “Now there are far more people traveling in the region, and they are more tourists than trekkers. They are not self-sufficient in the outdoors and therefore require the assistance of guides.”
Although some enthusiasts might not support a blanket ban on solo adventuring, Taylor explained that the Nepali government does not have the resources to thoroughly vet every single visa applicant.
Having loved the mountains and visited mountain regions around the world, he said, “I am extremely disappointed that it has come to this.” It is never our intention to restrict people from trekking alone and restrict people’s access to the mountains, but the Nepali situation is unique and changes must be made.”

Wikipedia on Moon, Nepal, and North Korea (DPRK)
In 2012, Moon was posthumously awarded North Korea's National Reunification Prize.[215] On the first anniversary of Moon's death, North Korean chairman Kim Jong-un expressed condolences to Han and the family, saying: "Kim Jong-un prayed for the repose of Moon, who worked hard for national concord, prosperity and reunification and world peace."[216] In 2017, the Unification Church sponsored the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace (IAPP)—headed by former Prime Minister of Nepal Madhav Kumar Nepal and former Minister of Peace and Reconstruction Ek Nath Dhakal—visited Pyongyang and had constructive talks with the Korean Workers' Party.[217] In 2020 the movement held an in-person and virtual rally for Korean unification which drew about one million attendees.[70]
