From Brahma to Buddha, Spring 2008

Ellie in Dharamsala

Hey everybody ("Im Dr. ...)

hehe.

So, hey, hello, hi for the first time in a long while. So, while in Dharamasala, my good intentions to blog went to waste, because blog I did not, and for that I apologize. I am sorry; It relly is important for me to let all of you at home know how my life is here.

Let me first say, that my lack of blogging did not mean that I lacked love for Dharamsala. (Perhaps it was a sign of HOW much I loved Dharamsala.) And also, that this did not mean I wasted my time in Dharamasala. Let me summarize: I both loved Dharamsala and spent almost every moment there actively and richly.

I had a wonderful homestay, and days filled with double Hindi lessons, speakers and a project that I both love and am inspired by. As Tiff may have mentioned, we are doing a project together on the Tibetan Refugees in India and around the world. Our project is interview based and during every free moment we had we were either trying to squeeze in an interview or planning what the next step was in our project.

My time in Dharamsala was great and I look forward to further reflecting on it both on the blog and off. Right now, I am going to meet the others for dinner.

So I leave you all with, Hello, Goodbye, I miss you.

I love you,

ellie
