Yesterday we went to this temple on a hill that was recently given to Mongyur Rinpoche, a young Lama who spoke very good English.
It was us a all Newari's, Nepal's Buddhist ethnic group.
He gave two blessings and people were very pushy in line.

I keep on craving chicken but I'm afraid to order it lest these Buddhists judge me (they would--and the western ones, not Tibetans)

I'm supposed to be on a bus bound for outside the valley to see the consecration of a new monastery, but it is delayed due to a strike. There are strikes all the time here. (The new Maoist government is only partially to blame).
