Blog Detail
Yak Butter Tea
http://chasuma.blogspot.com
There are already many blogs about Tibetan culture, Tibetan freedom, Tibetan religion. The sole purpose of this blog is to raise an awareness of Tibet, with each article containing some interesting fact for visitors to take away, story to share, or picture to save. Ranging from folktales to Buddhist philosophy, tsampa to chupas, oppression to freedom. I wish to remain impartial in all areas, giving the facts as I understand them, not as I want them to be.

Pentad. Simplifying Life and Love
Great blog! I delved into Rinpoche's "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" about a couple years ago, and it gave me such insight while working with the terminally ill as a Nurse. Keep up the good work!
