Hyolmo Heritage Project
When the earthquake hit Nepal in 2015, most of the Hyolmo villages were destroyed. I started the project with the help of Khyentse Foundation in 2017 to preserve Hyolmo culture and create a platform where memories can be shared. Three members of the project recorded interviews in Hyolmo language (and a few in Nepali and Tibetan) on Buddhist practice, history, Bon tradition, pilgrimage, local art activities and memories of the past. The project website with all the interviews: http://www.hyolmoheritage.com
Mani Lama Project
Between 1999 and 2001 I traveled in India to learn about Mani Lamas, an ancien storytelling tradition of Tibet. Went to Spiti, to see a buchen performance; visited Buchen Gyurme, one of the last mani lamas several times in his Dekyiling home; and journeyed to meet Buchen Norgye in Kollegal, South India.
