Our last day in Tibet

Our last day in Tibet was a busy one, We bought a rug from Doma "come home to Doma!" Which hopefully is already on it's way to Tennessee. (You should be seeing it soon Mom!) We also enjoyed some lovely Indian Food with Nema, and a walk through a busy Tibetan bazaar.

Then we went to Saraje Collage, which is a monastery, it has the largest chanting room in Tibet, 180 pillars, it can hold three thousand monks! The collage is also home to the horse of Buddha. Supposedly a good thing to protect children. The place was sooooo packed! The line to get to the altar went around several different rooms.

The smoke from the Yak butter was intense. Nema kindly took us to the head of the line line (i felt kind of bad about that but it was hugely claustrophobic) where a monk blessed the children with two soot smudges on their noses.
