Mongolia is a beautiful place and the people are lovely. Many of our crew felt an unexpected closeness to the land and the people who came to the talks. The first teaching was held in the big circus pavilion in the middle of Ulaan Baatar. Geshe Michael and Lama Christie gave away 500 copies of the new Mongolian translation of the Diamond Cutter, and the stage was mobbed. The publication of these translations was sponsored by Erdene Zuu Monastery, with sales to benefit the monastery, and it was translated by our old friend Batbold Baast, who also translated the teachings. The whole program, including a preliminary yoga demonstration by Ven Nyingpo and Jessica Kung, was broadcast live on Mongolian television.

Second day--June 11th, report from Christine Sperber: "Tonight was the most unbelievable teaching from Geshe Michael and Lama Christie. Filmed on national Mongolian TV, we experienced a historic event - as a female Lama was introduced as the Angel, along with the highest teachings of Buddhism--how you can reach the highest in one ifetime. The response of the audience was unbelievable. So many lives were touched in the auditorium - and this was filmed for national TV. It was a teaching on Spiritual Partners again - and it was breathtaking."
