[edit] The trip to Bylakuppe --- an adventure

Last year we visited Bylakuppe in order to help the monks of Sera Jey Ngari Khangtsen to create a charity site for them. The site can be seen on http://www.serajeyngari.org.

Bylakuppe is a mini-Tibet in Southern India. All the schools of Tibetan Buddhism exist here in equlibrium and the people who harvest the land often are in second generation. We have a lot of pictures on the site we created and intend to also make a picture book of the trip... since it so happened that his Holiness Dalai Lama visited at the same time and also did mr. Richard Gere. However, the most important artifact is that Bylakuppe is a unique buddhist area - peace and harmony combined with cleanliness and to some extent poverty.
