Jai Nepal

Many years ago I was in Nepal.

Most Nepali are either Hindus or Buddhists....though other religions are also represented.

 

One day I felt suddenly impelled to go into a Buddhist monastery for a month, and while there, to cut off my hair.

I came out of the monastery, my hair grew back.......and I carry Nepal inside me.

These are little paper replicas of Buddhist prayer flags that hang from the valance of a window.

And now impel me to send hope and energy to the Nepalese people and their land.

 

Many international relief efforts are underway that need funding.

I am not soliciting, but for those who are able and interested, here is a partial list. There are others....including Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross.

 

Jai Nepal

(as best I understand, Jai is Sanskrit for victory)
