DAY 116, FRIDAY, 21 OCTOBER 1977 : 92KMS. - BIR
Departure from DHARAMSALA with 2 Tibetan Lamas via PALAMPUR to BIR, another village of Tibetan refugees, where there are 4 Buddhist temples. The people here are living their lives in agriculture and carpets woven. I saw tea plantation, with white flowers blooming everywhere here as well as soy beans. One of the Lamas traveled with us was a head or an abbot of the temple kindly welcomed us and showed us around the village (we were lucky and merited)
And I was surprised once again here, seeing the Lama reached out to bless an elderly Tibetan woman and a child slung behind her (riding on the back) by touching her temples. The lamas here also used the music which they played instruments consisting of clarinet, drums and cymbals to the rhythm or melody in their prayer in the Lama temple.
