Walking Clockwise
There are many Tibetan Refugees throughout Nepal, as well as Sherpa and various other Tibetan Buddhist groups. It is important to always and only walk clockwise around stupas, large prayer wheels, mani stones (stones with Tibetan writing on them - Om Mani Padme Hum "hail to the jewel in the lotus" the essential 6-sylable mantra), and when spinning prayer wheels always spin them clockwise and walk around them clockwise. Thus following the Tibetan "flow of life".
