Attending the biggest birthday party ever

Yesterday, we celebrated His Holiness' birthday, which was very interesting, about 120.000 people arriving haha, with speeches of Richard Gere, and even the arrival of two deities.

Palden Lhamo
Out of nowhere a woman started to scream, and nobody knew what was happening. The Dalai Lama was perfectly calm and even let the woman come near him, and then she fell unconscious.

Then as the Dalai Lama gave his speech, he saw another man yelling and called him forth. The translator explained, that the woman screaming before, identified herself as the powerful deity Palden Lhamo, which the Dalai Lama saw immediately, and let her pay respect. Later we heard the woman was actually muslim. Interesting.

As for the man, he was the dharma protector of Tibet. As soon as he paid respect to His Holiness, he fell unconscious as well, and then Richard Gere came to give the speech and continued as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

One thing I noticed, is that The Dalai Lama was giving his own blessing to the crowd, I felt very emotional the whole time, and had tears coming out of me. It was very strange because, people were praising him and wishing him happy birthday, the speeches were very boring, nothing to be emotional about. After talking to many people they had similar experiences. 

Yeshe's birthday
So after the prayer we went to Yeshe's birthday party. We arrived at late afternoon to her house and Marcus and I were so tired we took a nap first in her house.

Ladakhis are very friendly, Lhado, Yeshe's sister kept on asking me if I was comfortable and if not I should tell them. They also make sure we eat first, before they eat.

Marcus wasn't feeling very well so he had been lying down and we were all dancing in the other room and enjoying and met Thupten a Tibetan and Simone the Italian guy, they are staying at Yeshe's house. Can't remember how long it has been that I had so much fun and without a care in the world.

Besides dancing, I was also paying attention in the kitchen and Dorji taught me how to make the steamed Ladakhi buns, which I failed badly. Something, I noticed was that the Ladakhis eat very late, at 9pm they start to eat, I was starving haha.

I enjoyed the day a lot. Also, I felt way over age haha, but Simone beat me in that haha. I was reflecting with Marcus today on it and it felt we were part of their family. Very nice.

Today, I've been mostly sleeping at the Kalachakra very nice, doing this now every day. Met up with Simone and Thupten and we bumped in to LiLi a Hong Kong girl who had great plans to go to dance for a year in India, but divine interaction changed things haha.
