Recently, his morning routine was chronicled by Pico Iyer, the author of The Open Road, a book about the Dalai Lama’s journey over the past three decades.
The Dalai Lama is said to rise as early as 3:00 A.M. when he’s not out travelling and lasts roughly six hours if you include his morning breakfast.
I know, at first, his morning routine might sound a bit extreme. Don’t let that discourage you. My purpose here isn’t to suggest you also wake up at the crack of dawn, but more that there are certain aspects of a morning routine, and things you can do with a morning routine, that are highly valuable.
- Spend time every day developing the qualities which are most important to you
According to Dalai Lama’s official website:
"When His Holiness is at home in Dharamsala, he wakes up at 3 am. After his morning shower, His Holiness begins the day with prayers, meditations and prostrations until 5 am."
- Everyone can find time to exercise (and it’s critically important)
"From 5 am His Holiness takes a short morning walk around the residential premises. If it is raining outside, His Holiness has a treadmill to use for his walk."
- The morning is a perfect time for deep reflection (and this gives a valuable sense of perspective)
The Dalai Lama is eighty-two years old, and one of the busiest people in the world, but he still finds the time to practice a nourishing morning routine.
