I read a beautiful post about an American woman who was tracking in Tibet and came across a Buddhist monk. <BR/><BR/>The monk asked her what religion she was and she said she didn't follow any (atheist). <BR/><BR/>And the monk said: Ah!

I just feel a little uneasy reading about this here. Luckily I don't have to read this it is a choice and to that end I will say goodbye to the Bhikkhu's Blog.
