Mustang: Nepal’s Former Kingdom Of Lo (Album One)
Photographer Taylor Weidman was given special permission by the government of Nepal to travel in the restricted area of Mustang. He writes, “Mustang, or the former Kingdom of Lo, is hidden in the rain shadow of the Himalaya in one of the most remote corners of Nepal. Hemmed in by the world’s highest mountain range to the south and an occupied and shuttered Tibet to the north, this tiny Tibetan kingdom has remained virtually unchanged since the 15th century. Today, Mustang is arguably the best-preserved example of traditional Tibetan life in the world. But it is poised for change. A new highway will connect the region to Kathmandu and China for the first time, ushering in a new age of modernity and altering Mustang’s desert-mountain villages forever.” Collected here is a selection of Weidman’s work from his book “Mustang: Lives and Landscapes of the Lost Tibetan Kingdom,” proceeds from which support Weidman’s Vanishing Cultures Project. — Lane Turner

LOVE, the Buddhist way:
Impartial to all sentient being. aka. unconditional love.
Avoid attachments; excessive attachments will lead to conditional or selfish love which in turn will generate false hopes and expectations.
Be forgiving, tolerant, courageous and accepting.
Detachment in Buddhism doesn’t equal indifference or non committed relationships, but rather has to do with our effort to defy change and resist the fact of impermanence and our mortality.
By holding on to that which in any case is forever slipping through our fingers, we just get rope burn.
Thus, love all.
one of the most important things I learned from my random Buddhism classes taken throughout my life.
“There’s a side to you, that I never knew never knew. All the things you say, they were never true never true. And the games you play, you would always win always win…”
Modern Family reacts to Prop 8 being ruled unconstitutional (read more).
“Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples,” states the opinion written by Judge Stephen Reinhardt, one of the court’s most liberal judges.
