Other lives

A few weeks ago I name checked Dharamsala (in India) as a place where some important changes happened in my life. This week the tiny Himalayan town made world news as several hundred Tibetan monks left it to do a protest walk to the Chinese border to draw international attention to the 49 year long occupation of their country. They were promptly arrested by the Indian authorities fearing a break down in international relations with China. Today I came across a link to a site of Tibetan refugees living in Dharamsala who are training to be monks and nuns. Sometimes the world wide web opens new windows on the world.
