I have to write quick as the power goes off often. The Monks have taken VERY good care of us and love us all so much. I cannot convey enough what it is to live in such a special place as Nevada County. When I see the houses and buildings all of our good effort has contributed to, it makes the other things seem so small.
It was only twenty years ago that the Tibetans came here to this jungle. All the work they did here to create this little Shangrai-la they did themselves.
Today we toured the hospital and Tibetan doctor and also Geshe Sangye's school. Today we will travel to Hubil to pick up monks returning from Sera and there I will buy the nuns computer. We will also be purchasing a computer for the new hospital. As soon as I get time I will post pictures. Please hold it in your mind about the Gaden Hospital project - which is really crucial at this point.
Last night Phuntsho took us for dinner down in Camp #3 at a Tibetan "Restaurant" which is really an outbuilding where a darling Tibetan woman serves food and then we walked back. You have to see the pics to see what its all about.
Has anyone seen the series DEADWOOD? These camps look like that - many people are down trodden - its very sad. The monastery's are doing well and are beautiful Lotus flowers in these refuge camps.
Yesterday the nuns showed up and are SOOOOOOO excited about their computers!
