The conversation was about the special Buddhist centres in India and the hospitality of India towards Tibetans.
As a token of
respect, the Lamas presented an 'OM' hand carved on stone, by Mr Thupa.
The lamas visited the Temple, where Devayani honored them with shawls. They said, 'We did not expect to receive anything.'
Gurudev said, 'Our Guru taught us that when monks come to visit we must honor them.'
