Here is the conference sign and a picture of the main temple at Deer Park. The double headed parrots are/is kind of cute. The original concept for this comes from Sakya Pandita Kunga Gyaltsen. The double headed birds, in Sakya Pandita's design there are two birds, represent the early translators of Tibet. For more information on this subject see the publication "Gateway to the Temple" by Chokye Tri Rinpoche, translated by David Jackson.Did you know that Bir is famous for hang gliding. It is one of the hottest spots in all of India. On Thursday in Majnukatilla I met a Tibetan from Toronto who had just returned from hang gliding in Bir. I asked if he had family there or was on pilgrimage and he said no he was only there for the hang gliding.
