It was the first day of the Tibetan New Year in Langtang. Tashi and his family made their offerings to the gods for their continual protection. He had started a small teashop on a piece of inherited land situated along the village's main path in the early 1990s. Since then, the teashop had prospered, and become a proper hotel with a dining room and sleeping quarters. Now Tashi felt especially blessed, for he had just opened his third and grandest hotel. To thank the gods, he erected a new prayer pole in the grounds of his new lodge, and a lama had been invited to conduct the Ihabsang (Tib. lha bsang) ceremony to pray for a long life, good health, and material prosperity.
