I'd like to hear from some other DU'ers about their particular path and traditions.

16. Tibet and Bhutan

Have always had an interest in culture of Tibet, reading adventures of Lowell Thomas Jr., and Alexandra David-Neel when I was young. In later years I was fortunate enough to spend several weeks in Bhutan, experiencing what a Buddhist culture/society put in action looks like ( a life changing experience). I don't practice any particular form of Buddhism but have a deep respect and lifelong desire to learn. Love the writings of Robert Thurman to help translate Tibetan Buddhism for us westerners. I once saw the Dalai Lama speak (at the University of Minnesota, on the same stage as Paul Wellstone, what a treat!) and attended a seminar on Tibetan Medicine by his personal physicians when they were here.
