New monks join Rato
Then off to Piccadilly Book Stall, Delhi, where the owner has died
His Nepalese assistant is now boss
The Qutub Minar Mosque
its minaret
banyan tree
and mini me
Then to Chandigar
a peaceful place
and on to Manali
wonderful views
Long drive to Dharamsala, past holy tree
with hidden shrine
to where Rinpoches work on manuscript
A photo session with Simon
my teacher and my student
and relaxation at the Dhauladhar
where some zip along
others are shy
We pay our bill
and leave
Brief stop with Dagpo Rinpoche in France
then back to our Garden State
where family and friends visit — Dhondup, Jangchub, and Peter
Tom
Victoria and David
and Nyima with his chums
The shore provides coolth
and the Buddha protects
