NEPAL Kathmandu -- 12 Sep 2009 -- Tibetan Buddhist refugees preambulate the great stupa at Boudha in Kathmandu, Nepal. Many of these Tibetans escaped Tibet when the country was invaded by the Chinese in 1951, with many departing in 1959. They have made their home in Nepal ever since, though many have no formal citizenship. China has been putting pressure on Nepal to crackdown on pro Dalai Lama Tibetans living in Nepal -- Picture by Jon Mitchell | Lightroom Photos

NEPAL Near Shyaphru Bensi -- May 2009 -- Nepali Tamangs walk along a Chinese-built road near Shyaphru Bensi about 80km from Kathmandu, which will connect roads in nearby Tibet to Nepal. China is seeking to build two new roads - this one and another through the Annapurna region - which are supposed to be for trade, though many analysts worry about their military use in the future. Aside from trade, the Chinese have been pressuring Nepal to clamp down on Tibetans living in Nepal who fled the country after a brutal invasion which culminated in 1959. The Chinese military are pressing for more access and control of northern Himalayan provinces (all full of Tibetan Buddhists, some of whom are followers of the exiled Dalai Lama) and it appears that Nepal is in the middle of a larger Great Game between India and China -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos

Buddhist monasteries are scattered all around and a large Tibetan community resides in the Bodnath area, who make their daily "kora" circling the stupa, twirling prayer wheels as they pass. UNESCO has declared Bodnath a World Heritage Site.

PAKISTAN Nowshera -- 03 Aug 2010 -- Flooded residents try to salvage their belongings in Nowshera, Pakistan, after devastating floods washed away thousands of homes, bridges and roads in the Indus Valley of Pakistan. So far, it is estimated some 12m people have been affected. While termed ?heavy monsoon rains? by many journalists, many scientists and news analysts think climate change and the melting of the high Himalayan glaciers at the source of the River Indus have caused the disaster -- Picture by Amjad Jama | Lightroom Photos | UN

One of the striking features of Tibetan monk debates is that they are quite physical. They are marked by emphatic gestures such as the loud clapping of hands used by the questioner to punctuate each question. These gestures have great symbolic value though debaters are rarely aware of such symbolic meanings, at the time. For them, the clapping and gestures bring them a clarity that can help mobilize the intellectual capacities of the debaters and capture the attention of the audience.

Tibetan Monk Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche devoted considerable efforts to founding and sustaining temples and monasteries where the study and practice of Buddhism could be undertaken. One of his last great tasks was the founding of a new Shechen monastery in Nepal to replace the destroyed one in Tibet. Fifty sculptors, painters, goldsmiths, silversmiths and builders flocked to the site from Bhutan, Tibet and India to take part in the work.
