Join us on an ancient pilgrimage around China’s Mt. Kawa Karpo, one of the eight sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism. Known as Shangri La, it is one of the earth's most remote and pristine places inhabited by humans. The extreme ruggedness of the terrain serves as an insulator preserving the native culture and the original way of life from the advance of modernization. Enjoy the enchanting beauty of this landscape, and the colorful tapestry of multi-ethnic culture and art that surrounds it. Learn how a Tibetan school was built from scratch by a villager, and how the teachers are striving for passing down the wisdom of their tradition to their children while trying to feed and shelter them.

Speaker: Spring Cheng, Ph.D. Spring Cheng is a native Chinese and has lived extensively both in China and U.S. She has founded Mystic Trails to provide travel experience aimed at broadening the understanding of China and cultural Tibet and exploring the relationship between the east and the western culture.
