Brent Olson’s Journal

During my recent trip to Bhutan with Dr. Robert Thurman and a group of Tibet House supporters, we visited the Pemacholing nunnery in the Tang Valley of central Bhutan.  Dr. Thurman led a wonderful visualization meditation and the nuns then did a Chod (or severance) ceremony for our group.  It was a very moving ceremony and meditation and I was fortunate enough to have my recording equipment along with me so that I can now share it  with you. 

For those of us who were on the trip with Dr. Thurman, it was one of the highlights of our travels together.
