5 at the beginning of the book


1 Isn't this the end? 15
Of the 220km round, 90km is walked and 130km is driven.
I had the strength to walk, but it was a difficult road to walk.
We dreamed of not growing old

2 Okay, let's go 25
Let's fill in each other's gaps
Even walking has basic principles and etiquette.
Meet Annapurna in detail
I just go my own way

3 Travel is something you do when your heart flutters 35
When it comes to climbing mountains, the will to climb is more important than physical strength.
Nepal, a country with 124 ethnic groups and a population of 30 million
You will discover a new way of life!
The god within me greets your god

4 This is heaven 47
The scent of marigolds in Kathmandu
A country where Buddhism and Hinduism coexist
Nepal is a melting pot of races
There is order in chaos
Nepal comes into me
Harshness creates beautiful nature.

This is heaven
There is no happiness beyond the world.

5 Tell me the secret of this life 65
I am a wanderer
Everyone faces death
When you meet death, you are reborn

6 Why did you come to Annapurna? 79
If you wait, you will meet me outside of time.
Let's fly somewhere outside of this world
I go my own way
Death and life exist together
The world only tells me the world

7 When the poinsettia blooms, the year comes 93
Besisahar, where your Himalayan journey begins
Annapurna touches the shining sky
Nepal's symbol, the prayer flag
Annapurna is the mother of Nepal
We are dust, dust is us
When the poinsettia blooms, a new year has come.
Peaceful, leisurely, beautiful
A true mountaineer dies on the mountain.

8 Make a road 115
Taking the first step in Chame
People meet themselves as they walk.
We started moving slowly
Om Mani Padme Hum is the gate to the world
The road makes the road
Knock, knock, and knock

9 Life is a Shadow 135
Encounter the Himalayas with your body
Their time is 'tomorrow or the day after'
Living life, I see nothing but prejudice.
Death is an illusion, and life is but a shadow.
I also want to feel the wind of the world
Sharing sorrow and lending a helping hand
Sharing wisdom about family and life

10 Everything takes time 151
It's hard to see reality here either.
Sleep is the solution to everything
I walked as fast as the trees grew.
Dig and dig again and you'll find the roots.
There is a certain loneliness in poverty.

11 The Himalayas are the heart of Nepal 165
Still, I'll keep going
Someone is watching from behind
Footsteps are what lead me
The Himalayas are the heart of Nepal
Happiness is feeling alive
I'm walking wherever my feet take me
We're in the gutter, but someone's looking at the stars.

12 The first thought was just a shell 183
Annapurna trekking is an encounter with the sacred peak
The first thought was just a shell
Annapurna, the wind that covers the world
Walking is imagination
There is no lie in the back of life.

13 The Wind Drives 195
The road gives itself away
You and I cannot be separated
In God, death is new life.
The appearance of sustaining life is sacred
Before I knew it, I was alone
Only the wind knows where to go

14 The moment you stand on the border of life, you are free. 209
Only the pain that overcomes me can overcome me.
When you feel your limits, you discover a new world.
People are gradually dyed
The moment you stand on the edge of life, you are free.
Encountering difficulties is a gateway to opening new paths.
Everything revolves around me
In which sky is my wish flying?
There's no such thing as a free lunch, even in Shangri-La.

15 Wounds are spaces where light enters 227
Pure Nepali nakedness awakens me
Ah! Everyone is so poor
Wounds are spaces where light enters.
Did you grow up a lot after walking Annapurna?
Life is about knocking
I am here now
Hindu faith begins with the feet.
Live as yourself

16 Weeks, Empathy, Moderation 245
A huge mountain approached me.
Annapurna showed us another side of ourselves
Give, empathize, and be moderate
We have to compete with this mountain.
Everything will be okay

17 Lowering the Eyes to See the World 257
What can we do for a better world?
There is no escape from reality.
If you lower your gaze, you can see a beautiful world.
The world revolves around me
Let's go somewhere, you and I
Time passes slowly in Nepal

18 Nepal's Gods Are in Life 273
Culture lives in life
Even in life, you have to risk your life.
Contemplating Annapurna from the streets of Thamel at night
The path to enlightenment is equal
Buddha lives in their lives

19 You will not die even if you die 285
Time in Nepal is not rushed
If I follow them, I feel like I'll meet my old days.
Even if you die, you will not die
You can only get to God through God.
The greatest sin is committed by the mouth.
The seed grows by itself.

20 This is not the end 301
There are no limits to finding your way.
Miracles happen slowly.
Life cannot be measured

21 My End Has My Beginning 309
