These are some of the beautiful part of your home town that people from monastery brought them up with the donation but what the people of Bylakuppe living in abroad has brought in the settlement. Nothing but jealous, hatred, competition and separation. The atmosphere within the community is horrible. It is disgusting to think of the situation there.

There may be few negative things about this place or the people however, I love this place. It feels so good to be there....

I saw many changes in the settlement, especially on materialistic ground, with such development I can smell the development in compitition which is not healthy.
However, I would like to see the changes in material but longing to be in same touch of heart that we bore before.

bod gyal lo and long live h.h the dalai lama!

What about Pema Tsewang another Bernard Madoff, who became rich with thousands of Poor Tibetan life savings and money from monastery. Thousands of Tibetans in Byalkuppa have lost their life Savings money and are dying of cancer and depression because they have nothing left to survive on. Pema Tsewang should be brought to justice, he and his family in Canada should put on trial. Shame on YOu Pema Tsewang

If certain people and communities in bylkop has got fat cash,it should be used judiously.Afterall,its the foreign soil and friendly poor indian communities that keeps us survive till this days.love compassion and harmony in the society can only be achieve through the development of inner human qualities nor through building attractive house and expensive monastries.indeed, one can predict that such behaviour may turns into source of contentious and the those beautiful Diamond or Golden building may one day turns into only a pay Museum only when the people dwelling inside and around them lacks basic moral qualities.Every steps should be undertaken in accordence with the majority group of society and ofcourse with the sentiments of local indian communities..

Will you put some more pics of Sera Jhe and Mey. The Namdorlling Monastery is beautiful, need not to say, but Buddhism is not about constructing beautiful Temples and gardens. I think Sera monastery is known whole over Tibet and Buddhist countries for producing many Scholars and practitioners.
Beautiful Temples and gold coated Statues can and will never help you in learning and understanding Buddhism
