On Friday, a 38 year-old Tibetan monk of Bongthak Ewam Tare Shedrup Dhargey Ling Monastery in the Tsongon region of Amdo self-immolated. Dhamchoe Sangpo, who died from his injuries, was protesting recent restrictions imposed on the monastery; he had previously studied at Drepung Gomang Monastery in India from 1994 to 1997.

When such a spin happens what was once important no longer seems so; what was once unimportant is right away significant. It is this ostensible turning of life upside down which disturbs some of us, as good as so many of those around us. Conversely, it is what makes life so smashing for those who open their eyes. Yet, it is usually a ostensible turning of things. In truth, it is just a change in where you place a mind. Two short, universal lists: What is significant? A glass of water.
