Festival history

A natural calamity of an order unseen this century in Nepal wrought destruction of highland villages of mud-and-stone dwellings of Langtang, one of the most scenic trekking spots in the Himalaya. Langtang suffered 183 fatalities; an estimated 100 foreign trekkers perished How does this mountain community deal with a calamity beyond the ordinary; what is the source of the resilience as ordinary Buddhists, unfamiliar with esoteric theories and learning? What is the psychological anatomy of their ‘acceptance’ of this scale of tragedy?
