Location:-
Dharamsala aslo known as the little Lhasa of India is the home to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in Exile.

Topic of teaching:-
A Song of the stages of the path to enlightenment

--------

Eventhough HHDL was not feeling well, he chose to go ahead with the teaching to his devotees from Singapore, Taiwan, Japan etc..

----

My feeling after the tour?

Quote author Victor Chan in his book "The Wisdom of Forgiveness"
:- 'Aren't we all proud to be human? The Dalai Lama makes us feel good about being human. About being alive at a time when someone like him is around.'

------

May His Holiness the Dalai Lama and all the precious Gurus enjoy good health to continue to propagate the Dharma for the benefit of all sentient beings.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what are the cylinders and what is their significance?

Thanks for your comment.

It is a prayer wheel (Tibetan: 'khor).

According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, spinning such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers.
