“We are visitors on this planet.
We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most.
During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives.
If you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true gold, the true meaning of life”
The 14th Dalai Lama

Dharamshala is a spiritual city carved into the coniferous jungle of the Dhauladhar mountains.
Its steep rutted roads,  and treehouse temples echo with the humming chants of Buddhist monks.  
Dharamshala is also home to the Dalai Lama, a man whose principles of charity, service and the daily yet eternally important strife towards good parallel my own principles.
