My best friend painted this thangka in honor of his mother’s kindness.
Tsongkapa Celebration
Everybody was singing the Tibetan national anthem and praying for peace on earth at Tsongkapa’s celebration in His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s temple.
Ritual
This young girl just followed her parents and prayed even though she didn't understand the festival.
Modern Monk's Life
This is my home. I borrowed the computer from a friend, which I use to practice typing in Tibetan and to watch H. H. the Dalai Lama’s teachings.
Refugee Kitchen
Many Tibetan monks are good cooks because we always have to cook our own food. In Tibet our families would send us to the monasteries with all our own cooking supplies. In Dharamsala I live in this apartment with a friend and I am happy I know how to cook.
Stolen Tsampa
Indian cows have more rights than humans. This cow was eating tsampa stolen from a Tibetan street vendor. She wanted to forcefully scare the cow away but she feared her neighbors’ reactions.
Danger in India
Life in India can sometimes be dangerous. This light post is piled high with all kinds of electrical wires. Many monkeys have been electrocuted on these wires. When the monsoons come they are even more dangerous. Last year three houses caught fire because of them. Since we are refugees there is little we can say or do about it.
