In Tibet, a meal is a prayer. A walk is a meditation.
A greeting is a blessing.
A people who found peace not in possessions but in presence.
The world could learn a great deal from how Tibetans simply live. 🏔️

Aloka, a rescued Indian street dog, walked 2,300 miles (3,700 km) across the United States alongside Buddhist monks during the historic "Walk for Peace." Over 108 days, he journeyed from Texas to Washington, D.C., touching countless hearts along the way. 🐾
Before that, Aloka had already spent nearly 100 days walking across India with the monks.
Today, #Aloka is back in #India.
If the world can celebrate one rescued Indian dog, surely we can do more to protect the millions of street dogs who still struggle for food, safety, medical care, and kindness every day.
Let's all make sure Aloka's street dog friends are safe too. ❤️🐕

What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:
• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.
• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.
• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.
• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.
• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.
• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.
• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.
• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.
• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.

At 8000m, the world goes silent. No noise from the crowd, no opinions from the doubters. Just your heartbeat against a sky and big mountains that don’t care if you make it or not. This was my 28th summit of 8000m without oxygen. 56 total 8000m ascents.
People ask me, “Nimsdai, why do you keep going into the death zone?”
Because that’s where I find the truth and where I’m alive the most. Down there in the comfort zone, everyone has something to say, whether you’re qualified or not. Up here, in the thin air, you meet yourself. No masks. No excuses.
With bigger accomplishments comes bigger problems, especially when you’re the trailblazer and neither you are a westerner nor a Sherpa. And yes, none of it came without a cost. I’ve faced problems that tried to bury me. People who tried to pull me down. So-called friends became the biggest enemies. Let me put it this way: no strangers were badmouthing me. It was all those who used to be my friends once. They couldn’t see me climbing the ladders. Jealousy and envy got in the way of goodwill. They thought I was finished, but of course, the mountains and myself had other plans. I’m a man who comes with integrity, and giving up has never been in my blood; nor will it ever be. But thanks to all these too , now all the garbages are off and it’s always better know , who’s who ;) .
“You will never reach any summits in life if you don’t keep moving.”
Let me say it louder for the ones suffering in silence.
Your mountain might not be 8000m. It might be grief. It might be failure, betrayal or It might be the weight of the entire world on your shoulders.
But the rule doesn’t change.
One breath. One step. Keep moving.
This summit is dedicated to YOU. The fighters. The dreamers. The ones who get knocked down and stand up again.
Giving up is not in the blood.

What you see is not a photo illusion!
These men carry the burden of climbers climbing to the top of Everest. If it weren't for these brave people, very few climbers would see the summit. Sherpas are the

An aerial search conducted on Wednesday morning from the Khumbu Icefall to Camp III failed to locate Dawa Sherpa, who has been missing below Camp III since May 29, according to 8K Expeditions. Dawa, 57, was guiding Polish climber, and left behind below Camp III on descend
We still do not know every detail surrounding the disappearance of Dawa Sherpa, who has been missing high on Mt Everest since 28 May. We also acknowledge and apploud that 8K Expeditions came out and now taken the initiative to organize an aerial search in an effort to locate him. But one difficult question remains: if the climber left behind on Everest had been a foreign client, would the response have been the same? Or would there have been a far greater and more immediate effort to search for and rescue them?
It is an uncomfortable question, but one that deserves to be asked.
For decades, Sherpas have been the backbone of Everest. They fix the ropes, break the trail, carry the loads, support clients, and make countless summit dreams possible. Much of the commercial climbing industry that once depended on Western guiding companies now relies heavily on the skill, strength, and sacrifice of Sherpa climbers and their companies. Yet when a Sherpa goes missing high on the mountain, where is that same urgency? Where is that same determination to bring him home?
Dawa Sherpa has now been missing on Everest for days. Beyond the business, the records, the permits, and the commercialization, this tragedy should remind us of a simple truth: a Sherpa life is worth no less than any other life on the mountain.
Everest should not place a different value on a human being based on nationality, wealth, or whether they are a client or a worker.
Every life matters equally. Every missing climber deserves the same urgency. Every family deserves answers.

“On this auspicious occasion of Buddha Purnima Vesak which commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana of Buddha Shakyamuni, I offer my heartfelt greetings and prayers to every member of our global Buddhist family.
This sacred day reminds us of the light that Shakyamuni Buddha brought into the world more than 2,500 years ago. ... His profound insight into dependent arising, and his call to harm no one and to help all beings, remain the most compassionate and practical guide for living in our troubled times.”

💔 Absage für Rowina
Die kleine 3-jährige Mama (ca. 5 kg) war fast vermittelt – jetzt ist sie wieder auf der Suche. Rowina ist freundlich, menschenbezogen und verträglich mit Hunden.

🚫🐾 All dog fighters need to be in prison where they belong. 🐾🚫
There is nothing tough, entertaining, or respectable about forcing animals to suffer for money, ego, or violence. Dog fighting is cruelty at its worst, and innocent dogs pay the price with pain, fear, and their lives.
Dogs don’t choose to fight.
Humans force them into it.
The real danger isn’t the dogs — it’s the people who abuse, exploit, and profit from their suffering. Those responsible should face serious consequences, not excuses.
✨ Protect the innocent. Punish the abusers. End dog fighting. 🐶❤️
