This is very deep in me despite me insulting the 14th for bs reason of just politics.  For the first time in my life, I was welcomed without any hesitation in a community who had never met me before but treated me like one of them from day one. There has been two main worldviews that made me grow tremendously: BJG's parents and family. And the Indian tibetan communities. These two worldviews, super rich for growth in their respective ways, are what I am most thankful for in my adult life. I felt like I was coming home when I was welcome so well by the tibetans EVERYWHERE I went in india. I suspect this is the privileged treatment for all ESL teachers to tibetans nuns in india. It was mind blowing and so real. First time, after I met Brian, that I rekindled some kind of hope in this misery that human life can be. The tibetan buddhist worldview is complex, rich, creative and magic. I am deeply enamoured and passionate about it.
