Mmm, yakkey...

Gotta love those yak muffins. Very moist.

We finally had sun so we went to check out the Dalai Lama's digs and temple and walked around the stupa. The whole area behind the complex is covered in prayer flags, prayer wheels, stupas and memorials to Tibetan martyrs who have self-immolated. I found those quite disturbing. It just seems to me that a faith espousing a desire for peace for all sentient beings should not be encouraging adherents to kill themselves. I wonder if the Dalai Lama approves.
