Kopan Monastery Buddhism and Meditation Resource, Retreats and Courses. Again I'm on top of Prayer Flag Hill, clouds drifting by slowly, lazily. In the distance the chime of the prayer wheel rings endlessly on, mingling with the deep voices of the monks chanting Tibetan throat mantras in the gompa. I'm lying on my back in the grass watching the sky and suddenly an eagle swoops low across the hill, just a few meters above me. I grin as another eagle swoops into view, and a third, a fourth. Soon the sky is filled with soaring eagles, their cries drowning out the bells and mantras. The sky is thick with them now, the sun completely blotted out. A thousand shrieking birds, the beating of their wings growing louder, and louder still, deafening, pounding in my head. I close my eyes. It's unbearable. I open my mouth to scream but there is no sound. I gasp for air but there is no breath. And then - it's over in a flash. Stopped as suddenly as it began. It's quiet. The monks begin to chant again. The prayer wheel bell hadn't stopped ringing. It never does.
