McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala India Pictures 2009
Finally, here they are…some of my India pictures! Had a glitch with the sizing of them; too big for this blog program.
This first section of pics are of McLeod Ganj, or Upper Dharamsala, home of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This is where we spent the first 6 weeks of our 14 week journey & it was the most formative experience. It’s difficult to put into words the specialness of the place, & the effect it had on me, but I am changed from my time there. I was able to relax into the place, felt very at home there. It was a rich experience, being immersed in the energy of the meditating monks (we lived in a monastery guest house right in the middle of a temple complex, nextdoor to the main temple of HH the Dalai Lama). The many Tibetan friends we made, & the experience of getting to know our Tibetan doctor friend & her whole family better made it hard to leave, as you can imagine.
Just had an email from one of our Tibetan friends from the Hope Center where we volunteered. It’s Losar, The Tibetan Budhist New Year and HH the Dalai Lama is giving teachings at his temple. Many people are attending despite the cold weather.
The pictures include one from our deck at Kirti Monastery Guesthouse, the candlelight vigil for 4 teenage nuns shot escaping from Tibet in early November, & pics of friends.
More pictures to come…Delhi, Rajasthan, Mumbai, Goa
