My collection is already willed to a Tibetan group that deserves it. Until then, I indulge myself by enjoying it and sharing it with those who might also enjoy it. I freely admit that this isn't "walking the walk" as much as I admire in fictional heros. But that's what makes them fictional. The Tibetan group will take out a loan on the col- lateral of the tsakli and thangkas and the other Tibetan objects currently in my possession, and use it to spread the dharma. Are these monks less fictional than I am? Almost certainly. Do I feel that I have to feel bad about that? Sorry, no.
