This blog follows the travels of the Turberfield family as they drop out of the normal busyness of corporate life to explore the ancient art of Tibetan Thangka, the dusty mountaintop temples of the eastern edge of the Tibetan plateau and travel overland from Singapore to England.

Offering to The Spiritual Guide in a lofty gompa perched above the natural fort of Dongwan valley, weekly trips to Shangri La's unpredictable shower rooms, keeping the cows out of the bins, scaling sacred Mount Shika, haggling for pu-er in the tea markets of Kunming and the nightly wonder of the milky way - possibly as far as it's possible to get from the subway at rush hour....

The main contributors are Michelle (also widely known as "The Boss") and David with bits and pieces from San San and Jon Jon. We hope you enjoy and look forward to your comments.

The most meaningful exam

Michmister: Tomorrow is our Dharma exam on the book, Understanding Our Mind. D and I have been trying to prepare for it for the past few weeks but it will only be clear how will we have prepared when we the exam tomorrow.

Nervous but not panicking. Just wishing we could remembered what we have been taught. The interesting thing is that there are new things to remember. Feel like we have just started revision.

I do, however like these exam. the marks are not an issue. The important thing is that it forces us to study and keep the teaching on our mind for a few weeks. To me, this is very meaningful.
