We woke up early and opened our window. Looking up towards our previous night camp, we could see that it had been snowing in the higher mountains during the night. We had breakfast in the kitchen, porridge and pancakes with honey.

On our descent to Timbu, we passed by a man collecting “brannasslor” for the dinner soup. Tendi started too talked with him. He told him that his nice just had left her husband in a cave, just above Tarkegyang, where he would meditate for three years, three months and seven days. By doing so, he hopes to become reincarnated. We asked how it felt to leave him for so long, and they said they were happy for him. After leaving them, Tendi told us that there were three persons reincarnated in his home- village. Reincarnation happens one or two years after a person has died, and it is recognized when the child is two to three years old, starting to speak perfectly at this early age. This boy has to prove that he has been reincarnated by pointing out |
| thing that used to belong to him in his previous life. Tendi has seen this happen with his own eyes in his home village. |
