Boudhanath

Boudhanath is a UNESCO world heritage site and is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Kathmandu. The ancient Stupa is also one of the largest in the world. It was on an ancient trade route from Tibet which entered through the Kathmandu Valley. Tibetan merchants have rested and offered prayer here for many centuries. The Stupa is also said to entomb the remains of a Kasyapa sage venerable both to Buddhist and Hindus.

What better place to have Cody blessed by a Buddhist monk! Granted it was the equivalent of the express lane in a supermarket, however, he has finally been blessed and now may call himself a Buddhist should he so wish.
