Tulkn of the ~ompa (monastery), then a meal of tea,<br > roast lamb, and mixed vegetables, with the Tulku and a<br > dozen other ecclesiastical dignitaries, each of whom was a<br > lama.1 Only Karni Padme Hum and Dumvar Gatze-Ding,<br > another lama, spoke English; yet the conversation did not<br >lag, mainly because Foster Cross and Loren Eaton, two of<br > the Black Berets who were conversant with Dzongkha,<br > talked, not only with the lamas but with the four<br > Bhutanese soldiers, after which Cross and Eaton translated<br > to Camellion and the others.<br > There had been religious music, the small orchestra<br >consisting of two gyalings (a kind of hautboy, or oboe),<br >two ragdongs (huge Bhutanese trumpets), and two ket-<br >tledrums. A bell striking a special rhythm peculiar to<br >Eastern temples was sounded as a prelude. After a few<br >moments silence the deep-toned ragdongs rumbled for a<br >while, then the gyalings by themselves sang a slow<br >musical phrase supremely moving in its simplicity. They<br >repeated it with variations, supported by the bass notes of<br >the ragdongs, which finally joined the kettledrums that im-<br >itated roiling thunder in the distance. The melody flowed<br >as smoothly as the water of a deep river, without interrup-<br >tion, emphasis, or passion, yet producing a strange, acute<br >sense of distress, as ff all the suffering of the beings wan-<br >dering from world to world since the beginning of the ages<br >was breathed out in this weary, desperate lamentation.<br > At the time, the Death Merchant had felt very uneasy,<br >his intuition in high gear. Hostile forces had seemed to<br >gather around him, and he had had the feeling of being<br >possessed by invisible beings who urged him to leave the<br >country, who warned him that he would not be able to<br >advance any farther, that his search for the fabled<br >Shambhala would only result in dismal failure. <br ><br >
