Write an entry Entries about this placeUntitled by Brian LeachI’d like to see the palace in Lhasa. I’ve been fascinated by Tibet since studying Buddhism in college. I was amazed how the Tibetan Buddhists made the sand sculptures from their minds, and then when it was done, just poured the sand away. I actually saw this done at the Denver Art Museum – or was it commemorating the opening of the Denver Public Library? over 3 years agoUntitled by 2greeneyesI’m buddhist … want to visit some stupas … I’m interested in the culture, nature, people … Untitled by LaVieEnCharmCityI would love to visit the sacred sites of the Dalai Lama in Lhasa, and see Mt Everest (from a distance!) I don’t know if I could handle the altitude though. over 4 years agoUntitled by ZijueIn the last couple of years, I’ve been reading about Buddhism and also about the Dalai Lama, and this made me interested in Tibet. It is a somewhat mysterious place as access to this region/country has been limited to tourists, but I would love to see it for myself. I don’t know much about the situation regarding Tibet’s status as a country or region of China, but both Tibet and China are of interest to me, for different reasons, and I would like to see both sides of the situation for myself, as a (hopefully) unbiased outsider. The main thing I’m not unbiased about is the inexcusable use of violence against the Tibetan people, regardless of who’s right or wrong in the dispute. I’m interested in the Orient generally, and would like to use any experiences there to help me write a book one day. I think Tibet is a very spiritual place and I believe that I would gain so much from visiting the place. over 4 years agoSee all 39 entries |
