By the way, how do indians "wobble" their heads "back and forth"?  I'm having difficulties seeing it in my mind's eye. |
mores: thanks for the post, and i'm happy you enjoyed soul identity!
here's some answers:
1) yes, most of the indian customs are authentic (i've been there many times, and i even lived there for 19 months back in 2005-2007). of course the monks' custom is made up. and i shamelessly took features from another gompa in ladakh (the really big buddha statue) and added it to the lamaruyu gompa.
2) head wobbling: imagine that instead of nodding up and down, you tilt your head left, right, left, right... now do it as fast as you nod. does that help your mind's eye?
