10/08/2024 Tibet Pilgrimage Update

It's my first day here in Tibet, in the capital Lhasa. And since the weather is so spectacular, how could I miss out on the energy of the old walled city, known as Potala Palace, named after Mount Potalaka, the mythical abode of the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara. It was the winter home of the Dalai Lama, before his exhile. Now it's a museum and a massive tourist attraction.

In fact I've been shocked at just what a busy metropolis Lhasa has become. Naievely, I thoughtI'd still be walking along stone and dirt tracks - in my dreams maybe!

The weather is amazing right now, and even though the face of the red dragon looms over the square, I can feel the connection to Lyran dragons all around - connecting to the mountains and most beautifully metaphored in the clouds.

It promises to be a fascinating trip for sure. The hand of the simulation is very strong here, but so too is that of the ancient spiritual energies. I trust that's what I'll discover on my pilgrimage here.

Bright blessings
