The Dalai Lama's Teachings in Zanskar







Zanskar is one of the remotest Himalayan regions of Northern India and so consequently travel to and from there is one of the most difficult. That didn't stop thousands of Zanskaris and Ladakhis coming by road and many days walk in the mountains to arrive in the capital, Padum, for the three day teachings of the Dalai Lama.
Thousands of people with offerings and blessings waited to greet him as he arrived by helicopter. And later withstood heat, wind and dust to hear his lectures on Buddhist philosophies.
And his Holiness, always with his charming smile and humble appearance, satisfied many thousands who feared that this would be their last glimpse of him after a lifetime of reverence.
