Cat living on woman’s bent back. Hard workers these Tibetans are.





The following photos are from my visit to the Bylakuppe refugee camp in Karnataka Province, Southern India. I conducted interviews with refugees from the local school, community organizations, and villages which comprises the article in the above post.
These photos show a modal of the Potala palace in Tibet that children of the refugee school constructed, a group of nuns debating scripture, apprentice tanka painters, a middle school class in session, and the traditional Tibetan medicine doctor who examined me and told me that I needed to meditate more. He was probably right.
