buddhist mama: December 2006
http://buddhistmama.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
This is a conversation about Birth, Biomedicine, and Buddhism. Dec 27, 2006. Dec 9, 2006. I get by with a little help from my friends. Ani Skalzang Lhamo, my first roomate at Karsha nunnery. An amazingly patient woman, she is a far better parent than either I or Ashok. But she is committed to lifelong celibacy, and so she's not planning on having kids, in this lifetime at least or the next, when she's hoping to be reborn as a monk. Potting training in the himalayas. Dec 6, 2006. We sit in the hallway of ...

This is a conversation about Birth, Biomedicine, and Buddhism. Sep 21, 2012. Yikes, a thinking blogger award. For the thinking blogger award. I was caught a bit by surprise, as I have just returned from some fieldwork in the town of Leh, Ladakh, smack in the midst of the Indian Himalayas, where I did not spend much time in the cyber cafes, because I was having far too much fun in the labor room and delivery ward of the Leh hospital. Why so so few people? Did I mention the forbidding landscape? Maternal d...

This is a conversation about Birth, Biomedicine, and Buddhism. Jan 9, 2007. Twin Birth in the Himalayas. N with her twins, Stankyong and Tsering.

We were both outside the full day, having delivered babies in early May after a long, cold winter. But here our paths diverge. 8220;Ahhroohwahhh. Ahroohwahhh.”. When L heard this cry, she...

http://buddhistmama.blogspot.com/2007/03/going-to-field-no-internet.html
This is a conversation about Birth, Biomedicine, and Buddhism. Mar 30, 2007. Going to the Field, No Internet. This is her first visit outside India and Nepal. I can't wait to see what she thinks of the US. Not only that, but she is the first Zangskari person to visit the States as far as I know. Not just the first woman, the first Zangskari period. A nice step for Zangskari feminism. We will miss you. take care and be safe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Williamstown, Massachussetts, United States.

buddhist mama: Why toddlers cry, a Zangskari analysis
http://buddhistmama.blogspot.com/2007/03/why-toddlers-cry-zangskari-analysis.html
This is a conversation about Birth, Biomedicine, and Buddhism. Mar 30, 2007. Why toddlers cry, a Zangskari analysis. Just the other day I had a chat with Skalzang about why toddlers cry. Skalzang, who is one of my oldest friends from Zangskar, is spending the year with us here in India, and has had much opportunity to see Tashi and Krishan have tantrums. It was interesting to learn that there are two Zangskari words for the crying of toddlers and infants. One, nyid shrin. Chris and Vic said. My interview...
