| Page Views: 5,304 Last Visit to India: January, 1998 | Among the Tibetan Monks of Sera Je Monastery by drolkar - last update: Sep 11, 2002 |
At the beginning of 1998, I had the opportunity to spend two months at Sera Je Monastery in south India (Bylakuppe, south of Mysore) at the invitation of a good friend of mine, Geshe Tsulga. After the events of 1959, he was one of a group of monks who fled to India and began to rebuild the monasteries which the Chinese had destroyed in their homeland. At the time I was feeling somewhat worn out by the turbulence (and in some instances, violence) of life in Moscow, so I jumped at the chance of a bit of contemplation and introspection. This photo shows <font color=red><b>WHITE TARA</font></b> (otherwise known as <font color=purple><b>DROLKAR</font></b>), the Tibetan deity who represents compassion incarnate. More details will follow..... <body background="http://www.netscape. com/assist/net_sites/bg/rock/multicolor1_rock.gif"> |
