Lolo's Travels

Tibet ~ Lhasa (#9a)

At Nechung Monastary, once the seat of the Oracle of Tibet.  The Dalai Lama would consult the oracle on all important issues of state.  He would go into a trance in order to give his advice...really spooky, according to eyewitnesses.  The Oracle fled to Dharamsala with the Dalai Lama ~ leaving behind such strange things as this door painted up with flayed human skins.
