It was the Global Carnival Weekend in Bellingen, and we were very fortunate to be billeting this wonderful Tibetan Trio, Tenzin Choegyal, and two Tibetan monks from Tibet, via Nepal, South India and New Zealand. Karma was a party monk, who said “cool” to everything you said. Geshi Jamyang, was quieter and more serious, but still had an engaging twinkle in his eye. Tenzin is a really talented musician, based in Brisbane, who has done so much to promote Tibetan culture and music in his new homeland, Australia.
Here we all are posing for a photo out the front of our house, looking out over the misty mountain, just before they all left. Colin and I are wearing the white Tibetan scarves we were just presented with by the monks. What an honour it was to have hosted them.
