The food at the conference has been excellent. The weather has also been pretty good with only one day of some rain and today with a little smattering. At night you need to wear a jacket because it is cool as it should be above 3000 feet. Although each day will now get a little warmer as India heads into summer.
I don't think I mentioned that Paldor and I are rooming together at the conference. Everything is basically double occupancy. Paldor is a great room mate and it is nice to review each day before bed with someone that cares so passionately about the subject and who also has such a great knowledge and insight into the issues and history of the Kangyur and Tangyur. Paldor worked in Chengdu for 10 years on Alak Zenkar Rinpoche's edition of the Tibetan Kangyur (published in China).
Tomorrow is the last day of the conference and a lot of resolutions and decisions will have to be made. Khyentse Rinpoche has agreed to be the interim leader of the proposed project to translate the Tibetan Buddhist Literary heritage until an organization and infrastructure has been set up. Who knows, maybe he will stay on after that and continue as the visionary leader while others step up and take charge of the fundamentals of organization and administration.
