Abstract

In a mix of English and Sherpa each person describes their job and what their parents did; one was a farmer, another was a lama; changes in jobs from their parents generations to the current generation; why Tenzing decided to be a lodge owner instead of a lama; Tenzing explains the role Buddhism plays in his life today. These recordings were made on a trek in the spring of 2011 up to Mount Everest Base Camp. The recordings span a wide variety of topics from making and drinking chang to the work of Mount Everest's 'ice fall doctors'.
