[Buddha-l] "Western Self, Asian Other"

[Roger60]

Well this short article could help some people who do not know anything
about Tibet apart from the various movies ("Kundun", "Seven years in Tibet"
and others) that they could have seen.
So I sent the link to some friends and family members, thanks for letting us
know about it !

Hello Alex.

I just read that short article you referred to and did not feel it came
across as 'patronizing contempt' at all.

Thanks for the link
