Om Bamboo Leaves

THAILAND A multi-layered world. Disabled beggars with plastic cups, a swimming pool filled with ice to celebrate New Year's Day; ghosts, Spirit Doctors, mediums, Buddhist monks...... Everywhere, temples thunder their disenchanting message that this teeming world, its glamour, excitement and misery, is impermanent, not-self and suffering. DYING RACES OF MANKIND When the rich see the very poor they know it is time to buy their valuables. Cheaply. This ancient people were driven out of Tibet by the Tibetans, out of China by the Chinese and out of Burma by the Burmese. Ah Kah people are very poor and cannot offer much resistance to economic assistance. They make exquisite silver jewellery and headdresses. Treasure hunters have been buying them. Cheaply. Ah Kah people have bright shining souls. Christian missionaries have been buying them. Cheaply.
