@ncoca When I taught in India, the highlight of my work was an experiential learning course I taught on Tibetan Buddhism and the Tibetan community in India. Working with the community was one of the most impactful experiences of my life. Beyond kindness and generosity, the most striking thing was a long-term vision. While hopeful, most would say explicitly or implicitly that exile was not going to end anytime soon. So how can we preserve our culture for the long haul?
