*~*~* History of Mankind *~*~*

Sakia Monastry, Tibet. This library, found behind a huge wall, holds 84.000 secret books that cover over 10.000 years of human history.
The wall is 60 meters long and 10 meters high. What kind of secret scripts are they, what is still hidden from us?

That is a WOW picture..... there are so many things in our world that just "WOW".

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

For many years, I attended talks by a Tibetan Buddhist Geishela...which is, educationally, approximately equal to a post-doctoral degree. He had been studying with the monks since he was 5. He fled Tibet when he was 15 and went to India where they re-established their monastery.....When he was in his 50's, he immigrated to Canada, to Vancouver.

He spoke English well when I met him, but it is traditional that they teach through a translator......He was a beautiful, sweet man with the most infectious laugh I've ever had the pleasure to hear.....but he did not suffer fools......

His teachings always began with an extremely detailed history full of lines of succession going back many centuries.....As a child in the monastery, they memorized the histories all day and recited them even in their sleep.....The translator had a difficult time keeping up, and it bored me almost into a coma, but it's tradition and it was drilled into them ....they were charged as the keepers of history and Sanskrit is the most ancient language that is still understood.....

Yes, it would be fascinating to know what information the scrolls hold. [As an aside, the claim that the ancient manuscripts could detail 10,000 years of human history is in question because the period of recorded history is tied to the development of text 5,000 years ago. That it was possible the manuscripts predated the monastery's establishment in 1073; that the scripts could have been composed elsewhere and brought to the monastery for safekeeping]

When in my youth only two countries held a strong fascination - Tibet and Brazil (after reading English archeologist/explorer Percy Fawcett's 'Exploration Fawcett' spellbinding adventures in the Amazon. Tibet's call was compelling for its spirituality/mystery. I too would love to visit the monks/Tibet. I think the mountains lend themselves to spirituality. It's interesting what piper's call draws us on.

Wow! I'd like to get amongst those for a read. Great shot!

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

I would like to read the books before man decided developed the theory of heaven and hell.
If all those heathens went to hell----seems like the number eligible to be REBORN would have been so few that mankind would have become extinct way back there.
Party On!
