Dr. Brené Brown is a researcher professor at the University of Houston, Graduate College of Social Work, where she has spent the past ten years studying a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness, posing the questions: How do we engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to embrace our imperfections and to recognize that we are enough — that we are worthy of love, belonging and joy? Brené is the author of I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isnt): Telling the Truth About Perfectionism, Inadequacy, and Power (2007) and the forthcoming books, The Gifts of Imperfection (2010) and Wholehearted: Spiritual Adventures in Falling Apart, Growing Up, and Finding Joy ( 2011).

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

So many people never ask themselves what they want. Maybe its because they think they have everything already, or because theyre afraid its too late. But if we dont ask ourselves what we want, theres no way well ever know if our dreams are possible, or what it would take to achieve them. Until recently, that was my story. I was living an amazing, beautiful life, and I didnt feel I deserved to even contemplate anything more. This talk is about why I decided to finally ask myself that question, and what happened when I did. Although Rita Wilson is well-known as an actress and film producer, her most recent projects have all been connected to her passion for music. After achieving her dream in 2012 with the critically acclaimed album AM/FM — an intimate, elegant, and beautifully sung collection of classics from the ‘60s and ‘70s — Wilson has been focusing on a new component of her musical career as a songwriter. Recently, she has collaborated with a number of talented and successful songwriters, composing original material featured on her second album, self-titled Rita Wilson. Her new album Halfway to Home (March 2019) has a fuller sound: Southern California rock meets Nashville country, co-produced by Rita Wilson and Nathan Chapman with additional production from Ron Aniello and John Shanks. Many of the songs were co-written with an A-List group of songwriters, including Grammy winner Liz Rose, Kristian Bush of Sugarland, Mozella, Mitch Allan, and Kara DioGuardi.

What is the daily life of a Tibetan monk? This is one of the most intriguing aspects when we talk about Tibetan plateau.

In this video, let’s have a glimpse of how a monk’s daily life is like in Tibet, which is shown as we followed a head monk, who lives in the Jhoden monastery, about three hours driving east of Lhasa.

He leads a fairly peaceful and simple life. His daily schedule consists of morning Buddha offering, meditation, praying for the peace and harvest of the villages around his monastery and night chanting.

You may find they are living a simple and happy life, but it’s not easy. They need keep pursuing their Buddhist study, and praying for the blessings of Goddess of Mercy.

From the early morning to the late night, see how he will enjoy the day. We hope you will enjoy the video and let us know what you think below.

The trek from Dirapuk Monastery to Dzutulpuk Monastery is the most difficult part of a 3-day Kailash Kora. During the 12 kilometers’ day trek, you need to cross the Dromala Pass at 5,630 meters above sea level.

In Tibet, Dromala Pass means the Sin Pass. In an old saying, if a person has lots of sins, he/she could not pass through the Dromala Pass easily. The God of Kailash will decide who stays and who can go.

It was a tough day to cross the Dromala Pass. I started my journey at 7 a.m. and reached the top Dromala Pass at 11:30 a.m. after trekking 6 kilometers from Dirapuk Monastery guesthouse. It took another 1.5 hours to go down the pass. When I finally arrived at Dzutulpuk Monastery, it was already 6 p.m.

Here are some tips for the trekking cross Dromala Pass:
1. Do start your trek as early as possible. In my case, as a healthy Tibetan, I spent 11 hours to complete the 12 kilometers.
2. Please bring a flashlight. Because you would depart early in the morning and it is not yet light, you need a flashlight.
3. Please wear comfortable trekking shoes and prepare trekking poles. The road across Dromala Pass is very steep.
4. Don’t worry too much. There are three tea houses along the way, one is before you cross the pass and the other two are after your cross the pass. At the tea house, you can get simple food supplement, and buy small oxygen bottles if you need.
5. If you are really not feeling well enough to go over the pass, you can either rest in the first teahouse or take a car directly back to Darchen.

For ordinary tourists, the trek is a challenge to themselves, while for Tibetan pilgrims, the Mount Kailash kora is a pursuit of devout faith.

Along the way, I met a woman from eastern Tibet who came with her baby to make the kora, the pilgrims prostrating even on the steep trail, and a devotee from the high mountain area completed the kora in one day, who actually had already made 5 circles.

Along the way, you can see five-colored prayer flags waving in the wind and rocks with pictures on them, where Tibetans believe that posting the pictures of their deceased relatives will bless their souls to heaven. When you are tired, someone will cheer you up and even offer you snacks to replenish your energy.

This is the kora around Mount Kailash, the hardest, but the holist experience of Tibet.

In the low of religion, when you finish 13 out kora around Mount Kailash then you are allowed to do the Mount Kailash Inner Kora, also known as Nandi Kora in India. It is said that only by completing 13 out koras can you cleanse yourself of all your sins. So it means that only people without sin are permitted to do the inner kora.

Of course, this is only a constraint for religious believers. On this particular trip, I met a young lady. As a person of no faith, why did she choose this strenuous trekking route, why did she come to Kailash, and why did she come here?

“I just heard about Mount Kailash a long time ago. During this difficult year, I think just come to see it. Without any religion or anyone force me. I just want to see and feel it by myself. And I never imagine that I could get so far. I’m so lucky. I can’t describe the whole trip. Every day is amazing. Every single person I met on the way, every single second I spent here, just perfect, makes the whole trip. ”

So it seems that the power of the sacred Mount Kailash is not only for the pilgrims, but even for ordinary people. Mount Kailash inspires people in its own way and brings blessing to them.

As someone who has over 10 years of experience as a Tibetan guide and has been here 59 times, I will share some trekking tips with you here.

Started from Serlung Monastery, which is 5 kilometers away from Darchen Town, the inner kora of Mount Kailash is 34 kilometers long. The lowest port of Kailash Inner Kora is 5300 meters above sea level, while the highest point is 5900 meters above sea level.

It is important to know how to stay healthy at such a high altitude.

Of course, physical health is the primary condition. Even I, a Tibetan, would feel some strain trekking here. So before you decide to take Kailash inner kora, make sure you do a good physical exercise to make sure your body can withstand a long trek in the plateau.

Also is to consult your doctor and tell him/her that you are going to travel to Tibet. In my experience, Acetazolamide (Diamox) is the most effective medication to prevent altitude sickness. However, you have to follow your doctors advice and carry some medications that are effective for you to prevent altitude sickness.

A pair of comfortable hiking shoes is also a must. The inner kora path is almost always rocky and very difficult to walk, and you will need to climb to reach the 13 Golden Chortens and Saptarishi Cave on the last section of the inner kora of Mount Kailash. This is the most dangerous section of the inner kora to reach the highest and also the end part of the kora. A good pair of hiking shoes will make you safer while climbing the rocks.

You can follow my video to see how rocky the road is and have a close look at the holy Mount Kailash.

Those who attend school in the mountain village of Kumpur, walk across the mountains of the highest situated country on earth. Nearly half of Nepals lies more than 4 000 Meters above sea level. Today its normal that the kids go to school in the valley, but just 50 years ago the village was completely self sufficient. Only if there was a lack of salt would someone twice a year hard off to refill the stock. Today the children go to the city almost on a daily basis and are immediately forced to cross the dangerous river. A village in distress is left behind. The village community Kumpur is spread across 18 farms on the Dhap Mountain. Their families live in a very remote area.

These families have lived on their land now for thousands of years herding their life-sustaining cattle without electricity, running water or contact to the outside world. Although they constantly ask themselves if the promise of an education justifies the danger of the path involved, they send their children day after day to school.
