"After seeing the Buddhist temples, monastic robes and funeral services in Nepal I was fascinated by the way the color red was used to pray for the purity of the soul and by the mandalas, which contain the truth of the universe. Although I am a Christian, religious and cultural differences meant little with the people of Nepal, who live without greed in a beautiful natural environment. Everything in Nepal seemed transparent and endearing, so that even the wooden gate of a village house covered in peeling blue paint looked kindly and benign."
