Through My Eyes

Saturday April 1

(We continue listening to the Dalai Lama as he tells of his experience of Tibet in My Tibet written by he and Galen Rowell!)

" But despite these neighborly relationships, Tibetans are a distinct and separate race. Our physical appearance and our language and customs are entirely different from those of any of our neighbors. We have no ethnological connection with anyone else in our part of Asia.

Perhaps the best-known quality of Tibt in the recent past was its deliberate isolation. In the world outside, Lhasa was often called the Forbidden City. There were two reasons for this withdrawal from the world. The first, of course, was that the country is naturally isolated. Until the last decade, the route from the borders of India or Nepal to Lhasa was a journey of two months across high Himalayan passes which were blocked for a large part of the year. From my birthplace in the borderland between Tibet and China, the journey to Lhasa was even longer, and that borderland itself is over a thousand miles from the sea coast and ports of China."

( The vast land of Zodang Gonpori as we know well beautiful one! I promise to add more tomorrow...)

*( please click here to read of the day with me )

* This is from the book My Tibet by the Dalai Lama and Galen Rowell.

( Please see my spinning for you!)

( Tahshi Deleh gentle one! Kehrahng kusu debo yinpeh? I began the day in our studio spinning for you then worked near our studio getting things set up for the tree feeding, figuring out how much volume to measure out to get the correct amounts and so on. After that I worked on the sculpture of Tara Drolma doing a bit more work on the table then beginning work on the arms. After that I headed up gang rinpoche ngah tso gi to check our trees and native plants then rested by your Medlar tree as usual before returning to our studio to clear around the trees and native plants. Then I worked on our a land of Tibet. After that I worked with the equipment a bit and watched some Tibetan movies. You'll notice the usual changes on the pages. I'm going to put the pages up on our infosite; I'll put this up for now so we can rest.

And so, as always we'll continue two as one on to tomorrow

my one gentle beautiful patient swift dream bright

long dark mane in sunlight

so for now I bid goodnight...Simjah Nahngo!)
