Could you check my text please? Early morning workout. Today I first time in my life went to gym in the early morning before work. I had different expectations of that. On the one hand many people says that they feel so good and productive all day afterwards. On the other hand for other people it’s too challenging, since they feel weaker that usual during the workout and can’t lift same weights in the morning. So, what about my experience? I woke up at 6 am, had some coffee, went to the gym and started the training at 7.20 am. The weights I took were pretty much the same as I typically do, especially when it came to leg exercises. With upper body exercises I was a bit less capable than usual though. The time after training and probably until a lunch break I hadn’t felt perfect. I’m not sure why, but it was so difficult for me to focus on something and force the brain working. It got better afternoon though. What else I noticed is that all day I’d had a constant appetite, apparently the workout sped up my metabolism. Given that, it definitely has some pros and cons. But what I liked the most is how empty the gym was. At the begining of the session I was alone, then one woman joined me. I have nothing against people, but it was cool to be alone in the whole hall. Thank you!

Another tricky one! Can you guess the right verb?

Hi Language Learners, Here is today's quiz, good luck! Happy learning, Laura

How did you find out about Nalanda? I applied to volunteer at a Theravada Buddhist temple (Tiger Temple, or Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua Yanasampanno), but then I realized "The temple has been accused by animal rights activists of mistreating the tigers for commercial gain and even trafficking some of its animals,[1] though in 2005 it was cleared of allegations of animal mistreatment in an investigation by wildlife officials and a raid by Thai soldiers." I was shocked. then I searched a lot about Buddhist temples and monasteries, hoping to find a true spiritual community, then I found out about Nalanda.

Throughout my school life, there were more than 20 subjects I have learned. Each of them left different memory for me. Some of them were bored and difficult, but others were interesting and inspirational. Among them, I liked history most. A history class just liked an adult told stories to children. Especially the events happened BC were really mystic. When I imagined the moment of the Code of Hammurabi was promulgate, I can see the light of civilization begin to sprend around the world. When I read the first emperor of China Qingshihuang built the Great Wall and unified the country, I can see Terra-Cotta Warriors come back and fight with the enemies. After learning history, I really liked to visit the famous heritages while having a trip. When I stood on the land where some important events happened in history, I immediately travelled back the time when the event happening in my mind. It felt really increditable. When I read some failure examples in history, I know what I should do when I face the same situation. History is not only a subject that helps us to know the past, but also like a mirror that helps us know what the things we are doing are right or wrong?

What are your hopes and expectations of coming to Nalanda Monastery? I hope to learn more about Buddhism and practice Buddhism in my everyday life. and I hope to prepare for death well; especially after experiencing my grandfather and my grandma's death, I have tried to stop shopping and using disposable items (even though they are free) for years. I'm thinking what I will leave behind after I die. living is dying, but it's difficult to talk about death in our culture. Even the number 4 is considered an unlucky number in almost all East-Asian cultures because it is nearly homophonous to the word “death”.

Have you been a volunteer in other places before? If so, where and when? I am passionate about volunteering; I am also currently teaching English to beginners for 3 American and 1 Canadian charities.
