The Tibetan Cultural Center and the Snow Lion restaurant are hosting the “Taste of Tibet” on January 25, 2003 at 6 p.m. This event features a feast of Tibetan food prepared by the resident monks of the Tibetan Cultural Center. We ask for a $15 donation ($12 for seniors/students and TCC members). However, no one will be turned away if he cannot pay.

In addition to providing a meal of traditional Tibetan food such as momos (meat dumplings), thugpa (noodle soup), fried rice and tsel (salad), the TCC and the Snow Lion will present the premiere showing of “Little Potato,” a video featuring the story of little Tibetan monk who entered Drepung Gomang Monastery in south India. The question posed by the video is “Why would a little boy wish to give up his favorite toy and leave his family to become a monk?”

This video was created by twelve-year old Chaille Stovall who also created the video “Looking for God. In that video, Chaille interviewed famous personages of all the world’s great religions asking them who they thought God really was. Featured among the interviews was His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet who spoke to Chaille during his visit to the TCC in 1999 when he came to perform the Kalachakra for World Peace.
