and for those of you not in the know, hhdl is the street name for his holiness, the dalai lama. a brazilian fellow told us that we would be able to catch a glimpse of hhdl the other day so we woke up early and made the trek to his temple and got front row seats to see him walk from his house to the temple. it was definitely worth the two hour wait. he cruised by as sweet and cute and holy as any man could ever be and he made eye contact with us and smiled his little smile. i reckon we are still buzzing from that brief moment.
dharamsala is a bit a time vortex. we aren't quite sure where our time seems to go, actually, that is inaccurate. we seem to spend most of our days cafe hopping and mingling with various folks. it is a pleasant way to pass the time.
i am off to meet some of our travel buddies at a rainbow gathering tonight. one of them has volunteered to meet me in delhi (for which i am eternally grateful) so i don't have to do the hard traveling on my own. it is going to be a few days of traveling, but it should right amazing.

that was amy's forgotten post from this afternoon. my monk friend, thupten, and i saw her off at the bus stand to delhi today. she'll be back in a week and i'll just be getting out of my second meditation retreat - so it's all working out in a rather swell fashion.
happy easter to all in the meantime!
