I'm interested in reading Kim and thought that I'd offer to attempt reading and discussing it with you via email.<br><br>I suppose that it would have been more sensible to send this via email.

I don't have that open right now.BONGO MIRRORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17751543633808947425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820615718469502862.post-53941105807209401042007-06-27T04:47:00.000-07:002007-06-27T04:47:00.000-07:00I still wonder how a religion can take away a baby...I still wonder how a religion can take away a baby from his family but the Dalai Lama is always a good and kind man. The story of the Tibetans always make me sad. While no guns and swords are involved, they are oppressed by a country and I think of it as a kind of invasive war.Ceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820615718469502862.post-88165356047556852722007-06-26T13:16:00.000-07:002007-06-26T13:16:00.000-07:00Thank you for taking us along on your trip Gautami...Thank you for taking us along on your trip Gautami, I have always wanted to visit the abode of the Dalai Lama, perhaps one day I shall!Lotus Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820615718469502862.post-60969777121005969052007-06-26T04:16:00.000-07:002007-06-26T04:16:00.000-07:00I don't know why...when I went to the Dharamsa...I don't know why...when I went to the Dharamsala I felt close to God.<br><br>Thanks for your post.Sorceresshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08111322434232094665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820615718469502862.post-90065145172601903422007-06-25T19:07:00.000-07:002007-06-25T19:07:00.000-07:00hi Gautami, i always enjoy seeing a new post from ...hi Gautami, i always enjoy seeing a new post from you show up in my aggregator... thanks for giving me such a lush and nuanced view on a very different part of the world!Sashahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00483234172434544811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820615718469502862.post-31180245777708537592007-06-25T16:08:00.000-07:002007-06-25T16:08:00.000-07:00Floots said what I was going to say! :)Floots said what I was going to say! :)J.

I really loved your descriptions of the food and the places you saw, especially the tea garden you walked in early in the mornings and the things you bought -- the stuffed yak made me smile! It's so nice that different faiths can co-exist together there peacefully. And bravo to India for allowing the Dalai Lama, and other Tibetans, to take refuge there after he fled the Chinese invasion in the 50's. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful trip with us.<br>:)Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11746014771712020963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820615718469502862.post-2483375017050184762007-06-25T13:41:00.000-07:002007-06-25T13:41:00.000-07:00I'm more of a mental traveller, but I like rea...I'm more of a mental traveller, but I like reading travel books from time to time. I enjoyed reading your text. Another piece in my little moisaic on Tibetan culture.

When you see me, and I try to be a good man, you see yourself." <br><br>I thought the very flattering film version of the Dalai Lama and his journey from obscurity was cool despite the fact that I am a skeptical empiricist and do not believe in reincarnation. <br><br>Our school year is winding down this week. I am glad that you reminded me of how wonderful clean air and birds chirping would be if you lived in Delhi. The simple pleasures indeed.<br><br>It would appear that you are an excellent explorer and consumer of local specialities. I look forward to more pictures.homo escapeonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10826410608415260786noreply@blogger.com
