1. Taking A Look At The Tibetan Buddhism November 17, 2008 If you think that all religion Buddhism sects are alike, then you need to think again. Tibetan Buddhism is fundamentally different than Chinese or Indian Buddhism. Each sect of Buddhism does have similar theologies but may differ in how enlightenment is attained or even why enlightenment is attained. For many people in Western cultures who are not familiar with the Buddhist practice, the differences can be very confusing, as there are a lot of the same terms used throughout the different sects. Tibetan Buddhism was found initially in the Tibet region of China. It was brought to this... (read more) Author: Mike Selvon

2. Garlic Sauce of Prawns November 11, 2008 When the Chinese introduced their cuisine into India through Mongolia, Nepal, Tibet and other Northern neighbors, little did they expect that the ever-adapting Indian would re-invent some of their most time-tested recipes to suit the sub-continental palate. Indo-Chinese food is available on every corner of most cities in New York, on wooden, red stalls with dragons and bamboos painted on them and funny spellings. It's filling, cheap, heavy, bad food value, but real quick, tasty and fun to eat. The stalls permeate the air with the smell of cooking garlic, onions and chilly which grabs much...

3. Rope Incense November 03, 2008 Rope incense, though not actually made out of twine, is shaped like rope and hence the name.

4. Pashmina Shawls suppliers November 03, 2008 Pashmina refers to a type of fine cashmere wool derived from Changra or Changthangi or Pashmina goat (capra hircus).

Each goat produces less than 100 grams of wool fiber.

8. Trekking in Ladakh, The land of the high passes. September 17, 2008 Ladakh, literally the 'land of high passes', separates the peaks of Western Himalaya from the vast Tibetan plateau. Opened up to tourism in 1974, Ladakh is often called 'Little Tibet', due to its similarities in topography and culture with nearby Tibet. This is particularly evident in the Indus Valley with its whitewashed Gompas (Buddhist monasteries) precariously perched on hillsides. Padum, the capital of more remote Zanskar, shares this Buddhist heritage, as does the Nubra valley, while Kargil and the Suru valley are predominantly Shiite Muslim. History Ladakh's earliest inhabitants... (read more) Author: Raj Tamang

10. Xinjiang Plays World Human Rights Stepchild to Rock Star Tibet August 21, 2008 While Tibet has played the role of China's "rock star" to human rights activists around the world, China's Xinjiang Province has been treated more like an unwanted stepchild. One reason is that Tibet has a true rock star in the exiled Dalai Lama. Another reason is that the strife in Xinjiang involves Muslim ethnic minorities with alleged ties to the most hated man in the Western world -- Osama Bin Laden. All of this, however, is simply unfair because what is happening in Xinjiang in terms of human rights violations may be even worse than the Tibetan repression. Xinjiang is China's larg...

11. Epiphany at the Portola August 16, 2008 Last month I took a group of students, primarily high-powered businessmen and women, to China and Tibet for a meditation retreat. I was amazed at how much China had changed from the late eighties. Back then almost everyone wore a drab uniform and very few people looked happy. What I remembered most were all the guards carrying machine guns and being watched very carefully wherever I went. Now, in Shanghai and Beijing anyway, I was happy to see thoroughly modern cities. People were wearing bright colors and had happy, hopeful faces. Evidence of prosperity was everywhere. Even the guards at the ... (read more) Author: Steven Sadleir

We create institutions and teachers to teach us the ways of spirituality and we get down on our knees to beg for it and we reject it when it comes to us. Is this being spiritual?

Their way of life is devoted to becoming enlightened. It is a peaceful scene and one begins to think that maybe they are very spiritual - how spir... (read more) Author: Roy Klienwachter
