n Lhasa, Tibet of China, I met an elderly person on Barkhor Street. He was around 70 to 80 years old. The title “Dhondup Tsering” means in Tibetan that everything has been accomplished and implies a wish for a long life. The wrinkles, deep and shallow, on his face are the gifts bestowed by the ordinary years. The elderly person looked so kind, peaceful and approachable. He wore a bracelet of 108 Buddhist beads on his wrist and was dressed in traditional Tibetan clothing, facing the wind, frost, rain and snow with composure and accepting the baptism of the years with equanimity.
