Here are some more information for Asian Tibetan:
The astounding Himalayan mountain range is a spectacular sight that relatively few Westerners have ever seen. This majestic range is home to some of the highest mountains on planet earth. Deep within this incredible mountain range of Central Asia, grows the Himalayan goji berry.
Throughout Mongolia, Tibet and Nepal, this simple little plant, and its berries are a revered for its medicinal properties. The Himalayan goji berry was discovered by Buddhist monks living in that region. The legend states that these monks found an unknown plant growing near the well in their village, and that some of its berries had fallen into their well water. They had been drinking the water for awhile when they realized that their overall health and longevity had improved. They attributed these improvements to the goji berries that had fallen in their well.
Within the last century the goji berry has made its way to American and European and is being used as a herbal medicine. Like many of the other alternative healing medicines, goji berries have racked up scores of die-hard fans along with a large number skeptics. However the Himalayan goji berry has been undergoing scientific studies concerning its medicinal properties, and its ability to heal.
Their is no denying that goji berries are beneficial in a number ways. Studies are being conducted about goji berries concerning cancer, tuberculosis, allergies, digestive problems, hypertension, sexual dysfunction, fertility, and anti-aging. As the results of these research studies continue to come in, we might just find out that the Himalayan goji berry has a prominent place within our healthcare system.
With the word continually spreading about the healing powers of goji berries, consumer demands in non-Asian countries have sky-rocketed. In attempt to keep up with these demands some goji berry manufactures have shifted into high gear and they are starting to mass-produce the plant in various countries, mainly America in particular. Then when you take into consideration the fact that there is more than one variety of this plant, it makes it difficult for consumers to pin point what their buying and where it has come from.
When you get right down to the nuts and bolts of it all, the Himalayan goji berry is the real deal. In Tibet alone, there are 41 sub-species of this plant. Think about it like this, do you remember when Coca Cola decided that it was going to change its recipe, and they unveiled "New Coke"? Well it failed spectacular, and the public demanded "real" Coke, and they got it back. The same is true about Himalayan goji berries. Variations of the Himalayan goji berry have been found in Norway, Outer Patagonia and Arizona of all the places on earth, but true believers of this plant turn their noses down to goji berries that aren't grown on the plants native land.
The Himalayan goji berry is traditionally grown and harvested "wild" rather than "farmed". Dedicated goji berry users believe that only goji berries that have been grown in the mountains of their origin contain the healing properties that have made them so famous.

Indian Books in English and other Indian Languages!
The Indian book publishing industry has today a vitality of its own. The prolific growth of publishers in its towns and cities has resulted in thousands of books/periodicals being produced in not only English but also other national/regional languages every year. Many of these publications are of great merit and valuable contribution keeping the cultural, ethnic and linguistic pluralities of the Indian society in mind. However, not all of them are easily accessible. Indeed, finding a book/journal published by, say, a publisher in a remote town could prove a difficult task for customers. And herein is the significance of an organisation like DK. We, at DK, with our amazing resourcefulness and expertise in the field, can locate any title published in the country.
Beginning with English language books, we expanded our services to include Sanskrit and Tibetan language books and then those in all the major Indian languages. We started cataloguing Sanskrit language books towards the end of the 1970s and added books in the national language Hindi later. Today, we receive nearly 15,000 books of Indian origin in all these Indian languages. The Indian languages in which we offer services are as follows:
Assamese
Bengali (Published from both India and Bangladesh)
Gujarati
Hindi (different dialects)
Kannada
Malayalam
Marathi
Oriya
Punjabi
Sanskrit
Tamil
Telugu
Urdu (Published from both India and Pakistan)
All these language books are catalogued at DK with utmost care and attention following the same level of cataloguing parameters as we do for books in English, Sanskrit and Hindi. The cataloging is done in Romanised format using diacritical marks as per ALA/LC Romanisation Tables. Due care is given to catalogue classical Sanskrit works using uniform titles wherever necessary. The software at DK supports MARC21 records with the original scripts of all these languages for major fields.
Our foremost concern is to make available to our customers any publication in any Indian/major South Asian language from this subcontinent. And in this our unique resourcefulness comes to full view. It should not be therefore surprising that within a short time we have gradually expanded our services and made an enviable place for ourselves among the service organisations at the global level.
We are proud to say that we now receive nearly 28,000 books of South Asian origin every year. A lot of Tibetan language books have been appearing from India. DK started cataloguing that literature in the early 1980s and later began adding those published from Bhutan as well. All these books cater to a range of customers associated with different academic disciplines and professions, and belonging to various age groups including children.

Increasingly non-conventional methods of publishing are gaining popularity in the South Asian region and our effort is to offer what is available in terms of these products as well. Therefore, we try to make available CD-ROMs, microfilms/microfiche and audios of Indic languages’ learning kits
Our highly comprehensive coverage has made our website the largest book database from South Asia offering books for sale. The website (www.dkagencies.com) has also been selected as an Associate site to the Asian Studies WWW Virtual Library and is treated as a key resource for networked Asian studies reach and teaching activities.

Buddhist Temples?
From the research I have done, I am really interested in Tibetan Buddhism. The closest Temple is about an hour away. I don’t know any other Tibetan Buddhists or anyone that would be willing to go with me. I really don’t even know what you do at a Temple. Does it matter if I go to a Tibetan Buddhist Temple apposed to an East Asian or other Temple? What do you do at the Temples? Any info would really help, thanks!
www.buddhanet.net has locations of various kinds of temples and meditation centers all around the world. Tibetan Buddhists do things a little differently than East Asian ones because of the language and customs that arose when Buddhism wound up in Tibet, but where you go is up to you, there are lots of places to go to visit a temple or meditation center.
Check out FPMT.org and ThubtenChodron.org too.
You usually remove your shoes, be quieter in voice and respectful, and can ask someone there to tell you how to conduct yourself, and will most likely be treated very well and shown what to do and how to act. Don't be afraid to ask and tell them you're new there in ANY meditation center or temple.
