Through My Eyes                                             

Saturday March 25


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

"  Tibet has many neighbors: China, Mongolia, East Turkestan in the east and north, and India, Burma, and the states of Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan in the south. Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Soviet Union are also close to us. For many centuries we have had relationships with several of these neighbors. With India, in particular, we have had strong religious ties during the past thousand years; indeed, our alphabet was derived from Sanskrit, because when Buddhism was brought to Tibet from India there was no Tibetan script, and a script was needed so that religious works could be translated and read by Tibetans. We also had religious and political ties with Mongolia and China. And in earlier times we had connections with Persia and eastern Turkey; there is still a resemblance between Persian and Tibetan dress. More recently, about the beginning of the twentieth century, we had political relations with Russia, and after that, for a longer period, with Britain."

 ( Tahshi Deleh gentle one! Kehrahng kusu debo yinpeh? I began the day in our studio spinning for you then  tidied up in our studio for awhile before doing some business stuff. After that I headed out to get work done on the auto before returning to our studio to work on the drawings of jewelry and ornament for the sculpture of Tara Drolma. After that I got ready for our outreach event tomorrow then worked on our a land of Tibet.  Then I worked with the equipment for awhile and watched some Tibetan movies. 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
