At the moment we are painting Buddhas life story from the Tuchita Heaven, Kings palace to his fled and the time with the askets to his enlightment under the bodhi tree. Dawa is mostly doing the lines - and there are many while one of the helpers is the master the clouds - and there are many 2;))) I am at the moment just painting with one colour: gold. Gold for the roofs, the ornaments...

Besides buddhist painting i made the experience of some western art in Villeneuve sur Lot in the south of France in June this year. I took some lessions with an american painter for drawing and some hours with a dutch illustrator. So I trained my eyes and my hand. Now I am back to Le Bost or Lacot for the Mandala of the Green Tara. Unfortunately in winter nobody was here so actually in the last year nearly nothing happened on the mandala....

KIBI is getting more and more like a ghost house. People are leaving in all directions after a great course with Karmapa where he teached us and gave initiations. Claudy and me just came back from a final blessing. His Holyness is just amazing. During the teaching he was funny, inspiring and very western in his way of talking to us. The final sum-up about the tour and what it did to my mind, the concepts and the perception...

First I had Lossong - the Sikkim New Year on 28th of December than our central European New Year and now Losar. We had Mahakala Pujas the last days and today some people suffer from purification - including me! They normally come in this strong powerfield. Karmapa is living right besides us in my case really next door. So I don't complain just see. Tomorrow at 7 am we will all offer some Kataks in the Gompa and then we will have lunch...

I took the bus from Kathmandu to Delhi direct on Sunday and finally landed in the pure realm of the KIBI. After we had a delay of the normal 1 and a half hours from Kathmandu I got on a bus with 30 Tibetans to Manju ka tila in Delhi - the Tibetan Camp. Most of them were on their way for Losar. On the border to India we had to wait half of the night until it opened and than I witnessed of how to bribe the Indian Police at the border. Incredible. Me they didn't check at all....
