May 24th, 2009 Old Topangga Canyon.

In the morning Karen came to our parking lot. She got us. We went to professor Buswell's house. One hour away. It was very beautifull and looks like an actor lives there. That house was on the mountain. We can see all the houses and some village below us. Some studants and professors brought a lot of food. Professor Buswell cooked meat. On that very beautiful land we ate lunch

very slowly. People talked so much. Also I talked to some professors we used Chinese, they teach Buddhism at UCLA. The weather was very good. After lunch everyone went hiking and professor Buswell's wife Christina lent us seven hats. She said "if you want use please get" then I got one hat, Christina said "that hat we bought in Tibet in 2005." Wow, I was surprised. When we were hiking Christina talked to me about her trip to Tibet. She really liked Tibet. She wants to travel to Tibet again. We took photos all together and then we came back. Buswell brought two big watermelons. That were very cold so everyone was happy to eat them. At 4:00 pm. We came back to the city.

April 20th, 2009 - Lunch with Lama Kejang

CedarBough went to UCLA. I cleaned the house. I went to Trader Joe's and bought some food and drink and flowers because today a friend came to my home to meet us for the first time. His name is Kejang, he's a lama and my father's good friend. He is my father's good friend in Tibet. In 1982 Kejang went to India and met the Dalai Lama and he worked for 20 years with HH. In 2002 Kejang moved to the United States. I came to the United States in 2007 and sometimes I call Tibet and talk to my father. First he asks me about my life. Second he always asks me about Kejang. But I don't have a lot of information because I don't have time to go to San Francisco to see him. I just called him sometimes. But today Kejang came to my home and CedarBough made good food for us. Kejang said very good food, she looks like a professional cook. CedarBough gave him flowers and I gave him a katak. He is 72 years old. But he is still very smart and looks very young. CedarBough talked to his friend. Kejang really wanted to look at relatives photos in Tibet. Yes, I had a lot of photos from Tibet, then I showed him a lot of photos. He was very happy to see my photos. Also he likes to watch VCDs from Tibet. He really wanted to watch VCDs from Tibet, so I gave him some VCDs and my present. When Kejang listened to my CD he said "your voice sounds like your father. When I was young I listened to your father's singing a lot." Kejang wanted to read some of my books, so I gave some books to him. He was so happy to meet us and we took some photos. After three hours he and his friend left.
