Is There a Monastery in Tibet?
CNN's John Defterios visited a monastery in Tibet where meditators were picked out from an elite group. He says the kids have to want to do it, but also show potential and families must be on board as well. From about the age of 10 or 11, they're in strict retreat; never see anyone speak to anyone or anything. And we were invited to this monastery. There was someone there, but there was nobody there. I felt like he had completely transcended self. So that was his existence. That sense of wholeness.
