Calming, relaxing peaceful video of intentional slow meditative living and lifestyle in Australian nature and wilderness of a retired medical doctor.

I started to travel solo once again in Tasmania as I sat another twenty day silent Vipassana Meditation Camp at the Vipassana Meditation Centre here in Tassie. You may have seen some of this simple van life vlogs in Tasmania from my last two video’s.

I also continue to write my book which has been a very slow process. The title or the name of the book also keeps changing with new thoughts that keeps crossing my mind. This simple life helps me to see the impermanent nature of life, things and myself more clearly, allowing me to grow more in humbleness. Poverty has made my spiritual life very rich :)

Working in nature in farm work and living in a car is crippling my ego at times and gets the best of my lay monastic life like a humble meditator. Sometimes, I think of the lives of a hermits long ago in India. But my cave is my old station wagon and is mobile. So basically trying to live my simple van hermit life between a monk and a householder continues with many struggles and joys together with surprises and insights.

I am currently working in a potato farm in Yolla, Tasmania harvesting spuds. Work has been hard physically but enjoyable and has zero stress. “I really mean zero stress :)”. I need to earn a living in order for me to continue my simple life to keep on sitting and serving in meditation centres and also to meet my other commitments that I still have as a householder.

Work stopped from time to time due to bad weather impacting me financially. This gave me more of a push to develop my own business. So I am trying to develop my landscape photography by selling some framed prints. This is still at the very early stage and here in this video you will see some of it at a local market in Penguin, Tasmania.

I also started my online Etsy shop and you will also see the place from where I took some of these photos in the video (Fossil Bluff). The link to my Etsy is in the channel. But here it is once again if you want to see:
