Archive photos of The Dalai Lama in Darjeeling

In: Personal Ramblings| Photography - my passion

12 Oct 2009

When it comes to His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, Darjeeling has always been his favorite spot of visit from decades. He has been visiting Darjeeling for a very very long time.

I too got a chance to get close to him once and the divine presence was felt as soon as I saw him. This was quite sometime back. I presented him a silken scarf which all do and he gave it back to me. Its still with me.

However these photos posted below are not mine, it was clicked by my friend Joseph Thapa, now settled in Italy. Thanks Joseph if you are reading this. Thanks for your permission to publish it.

I just love people whose presence can be felt, as long as it’s a good feeling. I imagine the Dalai Lama would feel good to be around. And I’m glad he likes Darjeeling. I wonder what kind of tea he likes best? –Teaternity

About Darjeeling Cuppa

This is me!Hi! This is Benoy, a Tea Lover, who hails from Darjeeling. This Darjeeling Tea Blog is some sort of a personal update site, but would love to talk about Darjeeling, its people and of course specifically Darjeeling Tea. Would love to share my tea experiences and thus would like to hear comments on it. Though not a perfect animal with all the tea instincts, I simply love exploring my hometown product. I will also update, from time to time as to what is going on with my tea company - offers etc. Hope you enjoy your stay!
