noodles and nuns

today I feasted on a delicious Tibetan lunch of noodles and pork dumplings (or was it yak?), cooked by nuns. there exist 3 nunneries in Lhasa and I was privileged to visit one and observe the daily lives of the 100 residing nuns. I could spend all day surrounded by their calm. have I found my calling? I think not! during these last 5 days I have grown very fond of Tenzin (who was once a monk himself). he has most graciously introduced us into the Tibetan culture and made us feel at home. my senses are filled and I shall take these visions and inner peace with me as the train departs for Beijing in the early morning...
an afternoon of observations and meditations in Lhasa.
