Social Dress New Orleans - 730 Days After 

Takashi Horisaki and a small team of volunteers were working 20-hour days in the 100-degree heat when OPP found them completing an art project in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans. Working on a largely abandoned block of the city, they worked with a mission to remind people of "what is still happening" in NOLA two years after the floods. Takashi's Blog

Geshe Dakpa Topygal

Geshe Dakpa Topygal, a Tibetan Buddhist monk, was born in the Western region of Tibet but fled to India with his family due to the Chinese invasion. He entered Drepung Loseling Monastery at age 10 and received his Geshe degree (Doctorate of Religion and Philosophy) in 1992 after 22 years of study.  He taught in Europe for several years before coming to the United States, and has been the resident monk of the Charleston Tibetan Society in Charleston, SC, since 1996, adopting the name "Geshe La" with his students and friends. He has written several books on Buddhist practice.

OPP, in conjunction with BookSurge, published Geshe La's two most recent books. A third is scheduled for release this Fall.
