Global LAB and the Meeting School in front of the 17th Karmapa's temple. We met with His Holiness the Karmapa in a private audience and asked several questions to him.

He fled Tibet to seek a religious education in India in the year 2000.

We shared the visit with students and leaders from Global LAB, the study abroad organization Michelle works for. Ama Adhe's life story may be read about in the book: The Voice that Remembers, available from Wisdom publications out of Boston, MA
















Every Sikh Gurudwara (Temple) has a Langar- a community kitchen where all people are welcomed to come and eat together. We volunteered in the kitchen helping roll and sort chapatis. Moon got special instructions from a very determined teacher!
