India, my second trip, work

Instead my second trip was  for work. I was hired by monk director Wangchen of the Barcelona Tibet House to do a photo report in the Tibetan refugee camps in South India and attend and follow-up the Kalachakra ceremony held by the Dalai Lama.

Spent twelve days with 225 Tibetan monks at the Zongkar Choede monastery near Mysore, living day to day with them.

And then travel to Amaravati to attend the great Kalachakra ceremony being the greatest Buddhist ritual for peace and tolerance that is done every four years, being the only initiation ceremony of Tibetan Buddhism that the Dalai Lama conducts for a large audience.

Exhausted from Buddhist monks, I traveled to the Vicente Ferrer Foundation in Anantapur, a real relief where, apart from meeting him in person, I visited all his work and donated all the photo reports to his foundation.
