A Terry Fox of Tibet?



While John and I were getting quite tired of trying to find the New Bus Park yesterday, there was a bit of a crowd coming down one of the main streets in Kathmandu. Here was a Tibetan monk doing full prostrations on a pilgrimage from Tibet for "the benefit of all sentient beings". Prostrations are quite taxing and it was pretty inspiring seeing this man, among the buses, tuk tuks, cars, tractors and bikes that make even crossing the street a challenge!

Needless to say, my mindset completely changed, wiping out any trace of complaints about the heat, polution or the fact that we seemed to be walking for hours!!!
Interesting!
Be well! :)

To Kristy, our family wanderer...

Your pictures are very cool and I love the Nepal architecture. Maybe we need something similar for Fraserlands!

Saw an interesting show on restorative justice, they quoted the Dali Lama, featuring a woman who used forgiveness for the teenage killer of her husband and thought of you. Her book, "Walking after midnight" would be an intesting read.

Vancouver is in playoff mode and I scored our winning goal tonight. The Cannucks won the first round but in trouble with round 2 and Anaheim.

Happy travels

Dad
