Ladakh

The Tza Tza are finally back home. They had a long trip to Italy and spent time in different places. They look still new while here I cannot find new ones anymore, they traveled across time.

Not being religious I don't know a lot about uses. But a monk told me that they are made to be hided in caves on the mountains and not to stay in home.

Where they were stolen from I don't know. so I chose a place lost in the middle of 5000 m passes in the middle of the country, between Ladakh and Zanskar. A small, nice, and simple Gompa inhabited by few honest and quite poor monks.

I chose just by feeling refusing listening to big monks advise in b”ig money / important monasteries”. I arrived there an the two monks they told me “TzaTza ?” ...”you can put it there on top” “if you climb up you'll find a place”

Not very important staff for them indeed, and probably is looking a bit crazy to everybody that a foreigner bring such a thing back and give them a lot of importance.

But I felt it was good. Some good hearted person made them and carried them to the mountain.

Not lucky was who took them away more than 30 year ago.
