Other Big Sit news: There was a 45-minute Big Sit on the island of Saipan (on the north end of PauPau beach for those in the know) on Sunday, April 5th!

    Tibetan Portrait Exhibit Paid Member

    Posted by tricycleblog on 24 Mar 2009
    This Sunday, the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art in Staten Island, New York will open a new exhibit called Tibetan Portrait: The Power of Compassion.

Although it looks like we'll be including different art for the article (and some AP archival photography!), this exhibit is not to be missed. More »

    Posted by tricycleblog on 20 Mar 2009
    A number of Tibetan translation groups around the world have set an impressive (and exciting!) goal: to translate all of the sutras into English.

The translation groups are hoping to get 10,000 signatures by tomorrow (Saturday), so time is of the essence. Sign the petition here, and check out the associated facebook page. More »
