Norbulinka
I made a morning visit to the Norbulingka Institute; a very special place, quiet and beautiful. Norbulingka is dedicated to handling down Tibetan culture by providing education and employment for Tibetans. My guide gave me a free tour where I observed masters and apprentices at work making beautiful Tibetan artworks of Trangka paintings and sculptures created exactly as done for centuries. All of the work must conform to exact standards. This visit gave me a better understanding and greater appreciation of Tibetan art.
