Tsering Wangmo Dhompa Quotes

Freedom, As I Have Been Taught To Understand As A Political Being In Exile- To Be Protected By Law, To Be Able To Live My Life As I Choose, Absent From Tyranny And Persecution- Is Perhaps Not The Foremost Aspiration Here In Dhompa's Pastoral And Nomadic World. The Elders Tell Me They Equate Freedom With The Right To Live As Buddhists, Which Entails Being Able To Perform Their Rituals, Have Access To Lamas And To Monasteries, And Be Able To Participate In Retreats And Studies. They Might Even Refer To An Aspired State Of Mind: To Be Free Of Attachment, Anger, Stupidity, Jealousy And Arrogance. To Be Released From Fear And, Perhaps, Even From Their Attachment To The Past.
