  • Chapter 2: Plant Response to Elevated
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Digital Repository at the University of Maryland ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: Monsoon caught in Gulmohars Jesal Kanani, Master of Fine Arts, 2005 Thesis Directed By: Merle Collins ‐ Professor Department of English Monsoon Caught in Gulmohars is a collection of short stories that seeks to explore how otherwise perfect characters find themselves flawed as they try to reconcile with change in their life, and how they view themselves differently, as they try to settle in their new skins. Some of these stories try to understand how they respond, ignore or adapt to change. Other stories function as mirrors in which a certain way of life, a certain place, is magnified. The stories set in US are interpretations of a new environment from the eyes of an immigrant community that is close‐knit but insular. Stylistically, a variety of voices, of points of view and identities have been adopted with varying syntax to heighten the manner in which characters perceive their individual realities, their individual stories. The stories have been arranged in the order of their achievement in realizing this vision. Monsoon Caught in Gulmohars By Jesal Harin Kanani Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Fine Arts 2005 Advisory Committee: Prof. Merle Collins (Advisor), Chair Prof. Howard Norman Prof. Maud Casey © Copyright by Jesal Harin Kanani 2005 ii To: All the people in the world, whose stories are being silenced in the name of gender, nationality, beliefs, profession and religion; for everyone has a story, a story that has a greater need to be heard than be told.

  • Dorje Lingpa and His Rediscovery of the “Gold Needle” in Bhutan
    Dorje Lingpa and His Rediscovery of the “Gold Needle” in Bhutan Samten G. Karmay1 Introduction Among the Buddhist ritual traditions that are still preserved and carried out as the central religious constituents of the annual festivals in Bhutan today those of Dorje Lingpa (1346-1405) stand out strikingly. This is particularly so in Bumthang area, Central Bhutan. In 1998 and 1999, I have had the good fortune to witness these spectacular festivals in Ogyen chöling and, in 1999, at Jampa Lhakhang in Bumthang itself. Dorje Lingpa is considered as one of the five great “treasure revealers” (tertön) among the Nyingmapa and an important Dzogchen master by the Bonpo tradition. He was thus an exceptional figure who clearly adopted an impartial approach to both Buddhist practices and the Bon, the non-Buddhist religious tradition in Tibet, in his spiritual quest. His approach therefore made him the precursor of what is later known as the “eclectic” (rime) movement of the nineteenth century (Smith 1970). Like many other Tibetan men of religion, Dorje Lingpa never settled himself in one place. He travelled around incessantly carried away by the motivation of disclosing hidden manuscripts and it was mainly because of this urge in him that he travelled to Bhutan, then known as Mönyul or Lhomön (Cf. Pommaret 1999), where he flourished particularly. He had left in Bhutan not only his ritual legacy but also his family descendants. 1 Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris 1 Journal of Bhutan Studies Due to the studies of Michael Aris (1979: 158) and Françoise Pommaret (1997: 408, 414), the accounts of Dorje Lingpa’s descendants who established themselves there as well as those of his reincarnations are now relatively well known.

Blessings from the Horse’s Head Monastery . 24 Target Market for the Book . 44 Marketing the Book . 46 Comparative Titles . 47 Lama D and Sri Jana 2 Book Concept From the Kingdom of Happiness, A Bhutan Travel Cookbook Join me for an adventure into the soul of Bhutan, a window into the original Shangri-La, a series of true stories about how I found balance and spirituality. My adventures include falling in love with a Lama, being forced out of my home in the US, and moving to Bhutan to find the ancient Eastern mind largely unaltered by time. This is a multi-sensory travel guide with stunning images and descriptions that share intimate first-hand experience of Bhutan's cultural traditions, breathtaking landscapes, and authentic food flavors. A different sort of travel guide, the book follows the footprints of saints whose raw, sublime energy still lingers in the mountain caves, where Monks and Lamas enact battles of prehistoric gods between good and evil. Where Bhutanese red rice and mountain spices lend nourishing flavor to every meal. This book won’t compete with the usual tiny-print travel guides. Instead it’s an easy-to-read resource of beauty and cultural insight to treasure. Weaving stories with photos and recipes, I’d like to share how unique synchronicities led to falling in love with a Lama via Facebook Messenger, to finally meeting up with him, and serendipitously discovering it is possible to find love on the opposite side of the world.

  • Day 1 (Nov 4, Mon): Arrive Paro from Bangkok. the Flight Into Paro Is a Breathtaking Introduction to the Natural Beauty of the Country
    Bhutan November 4 - 17, 2013 Cultural Tour Itinerary for 13 nights/14 days Day 1 (Nov 4, Mon): Arrive Paro from Bangkok. The flight into Paro is a breathtaking introduction to the natural beauty of the country. Magnificent views of the world’s highest peaks give way to lush green valleys. On arrival, you will be greeted by our representative, guide and driver. We then transfer you to Gangtey Palace hotel for check in, lunch and a briefing to review the itinerary for the following days and exchange ideas for photo opportunities, sightseeing and rural and cultural experiences. After lunch, your first excursion will be to the national museum, once the watchtower for the Rinpung Dzong, located high on a promontory overlooking the Paro valley. First constructed in 1645, the Rinpung watch tower was converted to the National Museum in 1968. While photography within the museum is not allowed, there are numerous photo ops of the exterior and the valley below. This first outing is meant to familiarize you with the history of this amazing kingdom in the clouds, and a visit to the national museum is the very best way to quickly learn the culture and natural history since it houses everything that is Bhutanese in a very different museum style that will delight you. Then we walk or drive down to Paro town and walk along the Paro Chu (River) to take pictures of Paro Dzong and the watchtower above. Here we will have photo ops of the covered foot bridge over the river, the huge wooden gate leading to the bridge, and the interior of the Dzong.

  • Fringes of Bhutan a Photography Journey | April 20 to May 5, 2018
    The Wild East -Fringes of Bhutan A Photography Journey | April 20 to May 5, 2018 Since spending a month in Bhutan as a guest of the Queen a decade ago, I have traveled to many places in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and yet when people ask me the most beautiful country I've visited. I never hesitate to tell them Bhutan. A country, as you may know, created the concept of Gross National Happiness which is evident in the safeguarding of their culture and shepherding of their environment. The landscape is breathtaking, the dzongs aesthetically beautiful, and the Bhutanese culture rich and sustaining. A trip to Bhutan will be very high on your list as one of the most memorable trips of your lifetime and you will also return with images that will clearly show how you have become a better photographer. With the advent of digital photography, everyone has become a "photographer" yet there are few who really see and create images that are compelling and dynamic. During this trip, we will work with each other to help develop his or her unique vision and will culminate in a collection of images that will be visual gifts to us all. The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan will provide an untouched paradise of astonishing landscapes, from thick pine-forested mountains surrounding sublime valleys against the backdrop of the majestic snow-capped Himalayas. Before departure, we will review each participants work, give feedback, and suggest each person write a short paragraph on what they like about photography, their purpose in making images, and what themes they want to express in their work.
