I was reading Jeremiah this morning and got really sad. It really makes me wonder about the love for these carved objects. Babylon doesn't seem that far away.

Palden Lhamo Festival
Yesterday was Palden Lhamo Festival. Perhaps the most feared day for Tibetan men. There is an idol of Palden Lhamo's daughter that is revealed only one day a year. My friends Duane, Becky and Heidi braved the crowds and got this pic of the unveiled goddess. Recently this has also become sort of a "Woman's day" where women can ask for money. So many of my Tibetan friends say this is a good day to stay indoors.
