The Karmapa Lama is currently visiting the United States and was in Denver yesterday. He is the third highest Lama and is a charasimatic young leader. You can catch his blog about the U.S. trip that runs from May 15 to June 2nd and learn more about Ogyen Trinley Dorge born to Tibetan nomads.

Where am I going?

Karen,
First, you should know that this is my first effort at blogging. Bear with me if I push the wrong buttons.
I wanted to tell you that I heard a nice, and laudatory profile on the Karmapa Lama on NPR ove this past weekend. You might want to get it off their website.
Also, I just scrolled down to see where you list the daily schedule of the monks, and show a couple of periods of "study". One fascinating question to me is what "study" means to a monk? Are their cognitive functions the same as ours? Or has their intense focus on meditation altered their other intellectual processes in ways yet to be studied. You'll be in a unique position to begin to look for am amswer to this question.
Bon Voyage.
BOB
