The Holy Sculptor

July 15, 2009 by Grzegorz Ostrega

I was born in 1932 to a poor farming family in Kongpo Bhuchu (Tibet) which is famous for pilgrims.

On the outskirts of McLeod Ganj, India, in dark and moist, lay quarter of the Zilnon Kagyeling Nyingmapa Monastery stands an attached hut so small it looks like a dollhouse. You have to bow to enter.

A kitchen arranged in the corridor - which still keeps you bowing - and an ascetic small room containing wee bed and tiny bookcase filled with gods figurines, offering cups and tv pushed into a corner make in fact all the living space for an old, always smiling Tibetan man. You can't say if that was Nature on his birth or just old age, which gave him such a small posture.

A large Indian retail chain that hired a South African expert a couple of years back to set up its malls/stores recently made him a ‘slowdown’ offer: to continue to work at an Indian salary (which meant a 50 per cent cut in his annual compensation) or quit. Interestingly, he opted to stay for a ‘decent India salary and top management perks.’
