We had to do so as the connecting  flight was on the next morning. In a sense, we sought refuge there. It  was as if we were refugees of sorts too. The place was like a more  crowded version of Dharamshala, albeit not on the mountains. We are all  spiritual refugees of the Triple Gem, be we staying there or just  passing through.<\/p>\n<p>We first checked into a hotel&#8230; that had a stale odour in the  rooms. We looked around and switched to a nearby hotel, that not only  was many times better in quality, it had air-conditioning too. It was  quite amazing, that relatively &#8216;heaven&#8217; and &#8216;hell&#8217; were so close to each  other in one place. It reminded me that despite collective karma  experienced by all in a place, there is still karma of individuals at  play, that differentiated some experiences. May all swiftly experience  the bliss of Pure Land and end our status as refugees of the Triple Gem &#8211;  by becoming the Triple Gem!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Next India Adventure:<\/span> Coming up<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\">Previous India Adventure:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/2010\/10\/india-adventure-25-some-animals\">https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/2010\/10\/india-adventure-25-some-animals<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before we returned home, we spent a night at the district called the Tibetan Refugee Colony in Delhi.
