PILGRIMAGE TO TIBET & DHARAMSALA
May 4 - 20, 2007
In Dharamsala with His Holiness, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet
Lynne Wiggins, who is a member of Tibet Aid's Board of Directors and a sponsor of a child at the
Tibetan Children's Villages, traveled this year with 14 friends of Tibet to
Tibet and then to Dharamsala. Joined in Tibet by special guest, internationally renowned Tibetologist and
teacher of Tantric Buddhist meditation, Glenn Mullin, the focus of the travel was pilgrimage
and cultural insight, beginning in Kathmandu and Lhasa and concluding in Dharamsala. During six days
in Lhasa, the group visited the Jokhang, the Barkhor, the Potala Palace and the Sera and Drepung
Monasteries. They then drove to Gyantse via the Turquoise Lake, and afterwards continued to Shigatse, the
second largest city of Tibet and home to Tashilunpo Monastery, the seat of the Panchen Lama. After
leaving Tibet, the group arrived in Dharamsala, the home of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In Dharamsala they
visited the Dalai Lama's temple and monastery as well as the Tibetan Children's Village, the
Norbulingka Center of Tibetan Art and Culture and the Tibetan Library and Medical Center. This year's
group received the additional blessings of a private audience with His Holiness the Seventeenth Gyalwa Karmapa
and a private audience with
His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
