Remarkable to be mindful of the attrocities of war...the jewish people during World War II; native americans during the 1700-1800's and African americans ongoing in this country; now Russia; Poland; Middle East it becomes overwhelming at times.

A voice that must be heardBy MumaD123I met Ama Adhe in 2007 at the Tibetan Refuge Center in the city of Dharamsala; India. She smiled and kindly asked the group that I was traveling with to speak louder because she lost hearing in one of her ears. If you read her story you will understand the cause of her hearing loss. Despite all that she has experienced Ama Adhe has retained a spirit of compassion and love. Her story is one that all should read because her message helps one to gain perspective and perseverance through adversity. Tibet - Cry of the Snow Lion
