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.
