台中的三星尼泊爾手工藝品
Three Stars Nepal in Taichung, Taiwan
After joining a community sound bath experience hosted by my Vipasanna roommate in Taichung, we went to the first shop in Taiwan to sell Himalayan singing bowls (頌缽) and other Nepali gifts and products. I was keen to get one, but it felt overwhelming to play and pick. A very Harry Potter for me. We were there for hours, playing bowls and listening to stories about how Mother Earth is always in communication with us. Maybe next time, the match will be obvious 😉
I went back the next day to interview the owner, Surya, for the podcast. He had a number of wonderful stories about growing up in Nepal, being a mountain guide to Annapurna, and becoming an entrepreneur after immigrating to Taiwan over 25 years ago.
Thank you, Surya, for letting us be in your space for so long!!
老闆二十五年前從尼泊爾移民到台灣。很高興可去店裡學怎麼摩摸頌缽與聊人生的成長！
