Shit is shit, as Zen would say, or rather, S んだ I boot this trace of my swift passage through the world out of the yard. Then I thank the man for his hospitality and show him a rock that contains a pretty fossil, but having no idea what I require of him, he is indifferent tO my thanks and stones. SIowly I pass along the field of prayer stones to the picturesque 10W door of CrystaI Monastery, with its old prayer wheels, one Of copper, one Of WOOd, inset in the walls on either side. Over the door is a small Buddha of worn stone, bright-painted in the reds and blues of earth and sky. UnIess Tundu comes this after- noon, bringing the key, I shall never pass through this small door into Shey Gompa. The entrance stupas and Lama Tupjuk's chapel at Tsakang have given me a clue to the interlor, and to- morrow, with luck, I shall visit the temple at Namgung, five hours hence across the eastern mountains, WhiCh iS alSO a Karma-

There are no boundaries tO this man, he loves us all.
