Phil's All Embracing Bhutan Slide Show
Scenes from Mirik, India



Our final pilgrimmage was to a small town called Mirik, where the monastery of Bokar Rinpoche is located. Bokar has been the head of the Karma-Kagyu lineage since the death of Kalu Rinpoche.

The reason for all the flags in town is because on the day we arrived, one of the big events in the history of India was occurring: a World Cup cricket match between India and Australia. The entire town, as well as the rest of the country, was insane.



In spite of the world cup insanity, Mirik is a quiet little village in the hills of West Bengal, India.
