Important Notice:

I have stopped publishing articles here and moved to a new site Clarke Scott's website

Clarke Scott is a fully ordained Buddhist monk trained in the Tibetan tradition. A student of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Clarke has received personal instructions—direct one-to-one instructions—on Madhyamaka philosophy and meditation from His Holiness. Recently Clarke moved to Tasmania to pursue a Ph.D in Buddhist philosophy from the University of Tasmania.

Dinner and a Walk

Just got back from dinner (Tibetan Tupa and chai for those interested) and a walk with the Tibetans. Seems there is a nightly circumambulation around the Library. I guess because it houses over 1000 holy objects from Tibet.

The walk is good for me as its flat but, more enjoyable than finding a flat area to walk, is the mix of the old and young people walking together. Old ladies in traditional garb, kids with sunglasses chasing each other. It is a wonderful sight, everyone was happy and relaxed.

The ray’s of the setting sun hit the snow-mountain above us, giving for the first time, a clear view of its size and beauty. The photos I took don’t do it justice.  I’m starting to see why people come here.

Tomorrow His Holiness is teaching in the main temple in MacLeod Guand. I believe he is teaching on the former lifes of the Buddha or the Jataka Tales. So, if I end up going, I will report back then. You can see more photo via facebook.
