Around the time of the SELF Project board meeting in Mumbai in early 2007, I took the opportunity to remain in India for somewhat more than a month to see some more of the country. After being in Mumbai for some time, I went north by train, first to Delhi and then onwards to McLeod Ganj in the Himachal Pradesh state, close to the border to Jammu and Kashmir. In McLeod Ganj, I took part in the Tushita Meditation Center class for introduction to Buddhism, and then spent time listening to the teachings of HH Dalai Lama.
