Dreams of Lhasa One of my life long dreams is to visit Lhasa, Tibet and see the Potola. This started long ago when I read a series of (semi?) fictional books by author T. Lobsang Rampa (actually Cyril Henry Hoskin), such as "The Third Eye", "Cave of the Ancients" etc. This was in the early 1970's when eastern spiritualism became popular in the US among young people. Aside from these I did read actual works of Asian spiritual teachings. But, the idea of visiting the home of Tibetan Buddhism has never left me. It looks like next summer I might actually be able to make this trip. I am starting my planning now. I'll go by train, Beijing to Lhasa, which, from my perspective, is the only way to really do it right. Anyone been there or offer any insights? |

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it. Yes, I'll be very careful. I've heard there is still an undercurrent of discontent by the Tibetans toward the Chinese government.
