.Kamtrul Rinpoche, The Karmapa and Norbilingka.

Hello there,
Well this is Dharamsala part two I am very behind. it has been harder to get to the inernet we just don't seem to have our computer and and internet cafe together on the same trip! anyway I am very behind on this blog. Right now we are actually in Dehra Dun which I will get back to later, Anyway while still in Dharmasala we traveled just a short way to a place called Norbilingka where we had the great fortune of being able to visit Kamtrul Rinpoche a very venerated Lama in the Nyingma tradition  this was such a wonderful experience that even Colin said it was his favorite place to visit that day!!!! we also had a chance to offer a katag to the Karmapa who was just down the road. after these wonderful blessings  we headed into a small  very beautiful village built with Tibetan style buildings and a beautiful shrine it was created to help show and preserve the Tibetan culture, they had individual buildings that showed Thangka Painting  being done and another with Scultpure builders these where all master craftsmen/women very very interesting  the village was very beautiful very peaceful and they made a great lunch! Please check back pictures will follow  I will update as soon as we can get our computer plugged in safely. bye
