From India to the U.S.A. (with some Tibetan poems between the two)
I returned from India one month ago. During my last couple of months in India I did not have reliable internet so I could not update the site. However, there is much to update. There were a number of adventures, discoveries, writings, thoughts, and picture-taking sessions that occured between the last post and my last day in India. I will try to make updates about the most important things that happened during the last two months...such as my meeting with The Dalai Lama and getting Malaria, but for now...my main priority is to work on my book. I'm creating a photo book that documents my journey. It will include a large number of photos from my trip (many more than are on this site) and a number of the pieces I wrote regarding my journey in India. The theme of the book will be the same as the site: A youthful journey for self. I will update on the project's progress up to the point of publication.
For now...I made a promise to a number of my friends and classmates at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics Sarah Campus. They are quite the poets and wanted to spread their word to as many people as they could. I express my apologies to them now for not being able to update sooner. This site does not support the Tibetan font in which their poems are written. I've tried many times to include the poems in this post, but they do not appear correctly. So instead, I'm including the poems written in Tibetan as a link. I'm also including a Tibetan font reader link. (When you restart your computer, you have to download the reader again in order for the reader to work). I'm not sure why. If you have a better Tibetan reader...please let me know.
Two of the students wrote their poems in English. Their poems appear in the post below.
