You make me want to run back to the PRK Guesthouse and visit my friend Lama Peter.
Thanks for the memories

Nope, I think they were smiling when the girls had their photos taken with them though. My photo was probably just a courtesy!

The picture of cremations was presented tastefully. It is so important for Americans accustomed to the Judeo-Christian-Muslim ethic to understand that the world is comprised of people with many different traditions. Death rites provide some of the clearest glimpses into how other peoples around the world recognize the life cycle. I first saw something like this in the movie, “Baraka”, and, while jarring, it reinforced that there are many ways to comprehend one’s own temporal place in human history.
