chode

From that point on, any time we became engulfed in a sea of scolding Chinese, someone in our crew would cry out, "Penh ching chode!" and we would all do the secret finger pinch in a show of Gweilo solidarity.

The assembled Chinese hecklers thought this was hilarious, so Ethan and Leo decided to really give them something to laugh about and crab-walked across the platform while doing the Penh Ching Chode hand gesture.

However one cannot overlook some discrepancy between the proud title of the exhibition ("Monasteries Open Their Treasure Rooms") and the fact by far (!) most of the objects are owned by museums (Tibet Museum, Potala Palace, Norbulingka Palace, Yarlung Museum) and that seven monastic institutions did not open their doors to give loans abroad (Jokhang, Sera, Drepung, Nyethang, Yumbu Lakhar, Gongkar Chode, Samye).

Another very similar Sanskrit manuscript written on individual birch-bark pages of the "Indo-Tibetan" palm-leaf type found at Tholing monastery in Western Tibet confirms for sheer historical reasons an 11th century date of the Sanskrit book in Lhasa.--A brief comment to note 7 on p.586: the monastery "Drongkhar Chode" on p.57 of Sonam Wangden's text is not identical with "Gongkar Chode" (near Lhasa airport), but located in Lhodrag, northwest of Tsona (Tsome).

The New York playwright and biographer John Chodes has illuminated one forgotten aspect of the war in the person of Horatio Seymour, governor of New York at the height of the war and Democratic candidate for president against Gen.

When the war came Seymour was eloquent against the illegal imprisonment of critics of Lincoln and against federal conscription, which he believed that the courts, if they were permitted to rule, would find unconstitutional, Chodes presents much material about the four-day battle between the New York militia and the U.S.
