His Holiness the Dalai Lama (the 14th) gives annual public teachings at his temple in Dharamsala. This year, they were given every day for about two and a half weeks at Namgyal Monastery Temple and attended by several thousand people roughly divided into three categories: monks and nuns, Tibetans, and Western sangha (community of spiritual practitioners). People trekked and travelled far and wide to get to Dharamsala, walking for miles or sitting on buses for days. Westerners flew in from all corners of the globe.
