The Dalai Lama? No, a Tibetan Lama!
Today we went on a excursion to a little bit outside of McLeod Ganj to see a Tibetan Lama talk about how they are trying to preserve their culture and how they got to where they are now. There are definitely a lot of shops in McLeod which you can buy souvenirs from and I know I'll definitely be coming up here quite often. The ride isn't to expensive as well, it's RS 200 which if you split with four people it roughly equals $1. After the discussion, we headed over to a Buddhist temple and His Holiness' house; unfortunately he wasn't there. We headed back for dinner and the rest of the day is kind of a blur.
Is His Holiness actually a person or were you being funny?
ReplyDeletelol, His Holiness is what they refer to the Dalai Lama.
