Skarma Gurmet: “Ladakh” Little Tibet in India

Please join our free seminar at Hawaii Tokai International College by Skarma Gurmet, a native Ladakhi. Ladakh; “Little Tibet in India” is the northernmost part of India, at an elevation of 11000 ft. in the Himalayas. It has a unique culture, climate, topography, lifestyle and religion; completely different from the rest of India.
Speaking the Ladakhi language, a dialect of Tibetan, its people have lived peacefully, for centuries, in a self-sustained society guided by Tibetan Buddhist spirituality. His Holiness the Dalai Lama visits Lakakh almost every year to conduct Bhuddist teachings. In addition to this seminar, if you would like an opportunity to talk with Skarma on a more personal level, we will have a Luncheon, on-premise, for $20. Please mail the order form below by Oct 30th, 2014.
