Dalai Lama’s nephew completes walk from Indianapolis to New York
The Dalai Lama’s nephew walked into Manhattan on Saturday, ending a 900-mile trek that began in Indiana to support Tibetan independence.
“I lost a lot of my toenails, I lost feeling in one of my toes, and I have a lot of blisters – blisters upon blisters,” Jigme Norbu said as he arrived at the Chinese Consulate on W. 42nd St.
“It’s all mental, though. It’s not physical,” Norbu said. “If you have the determination to fight for your country’s independence it helps you accomplish the goal.”
Norbu began his walk 40 days ago, on March 10, in Indianapolis and it took him through Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Washington, Pennsylvania and finally New York.
