This narrative of subsistence on the Tibetan plateau describes the
life-worlds of people in a region traditionally known as Kham who
move with their yaks from pasture to pasture, depending on the milk
production of their herd for sustenance. Gillian Tan's story, based
on her own experience of living through seasonal cycles with the
people of Dora Karmo between 2006 and 2013, examines the
community's powerful relationship with a Buddhist lama and their
interactions with external agents of change. In showing how they
perceive their environment and dwell in their world, Tan conveys a
spare beauty that honors the stillness and rhythms of nomadic life.
