On Friday afternoon and evening there was a seminar titled 'What the Panditas and Yogis Brought to Tibet.' There were four speakers (from the left) made up of Steven Goodman, John Dunne, Gene Smith, and Jake Dalton. It was very well attended with some recognizable faces of old friends such as Virendra Kumar, patriarch of the Kumar family, and others. The event was co-sponsored by the Khyentse Foundation. We are up at 5:00 tomorrow morning and then off to see the (Situ) Gyalwa Karmapa for an audience prior to the 14 or more hour bus ride to Bir. It should prove to be a thoroughly exhausting day with or without the audience. It seems there will be a convoy of three mini buses.
