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 Wind of Change

Michmister : Changes have been on our mind for a long time, and there have long discussions about what we are going to be and to do. We persuaded ourselves to stay because our Dharma Practice teaches us to be content.

However, as always, when the wind gathers, there is no stopping it. Both D and I felt it and we just were not sure where is it blowing.

Merit led us to meet Richard who told us about the Tibetan Thangka Academy. A seed was planted as we dreamt about painting Thangka and purifying our past harmful actions.

Then without any warning, our conditions gathered and we made the decision for D to give up his work, and we will travel to the mountain of China, Tibet Border to Shangri-la to learn Thangka Painting and Mandarin.
