Tanya+Part+b

=Part b= During their stay at our hotel a Tibetan family witnessed several displays of public affection between guests in our hotel. As this is considered taboo in the Tibetan culture it offended several members of the family. I //listened// patiently to their complaint and with the help of an interpreter I //acknowledged// that they had a right to not be subject to such views. I then //Responded// to their complaint by assuring them that I would speak to the people involved and explain that their behavior may have been offensive to other guests in the hotel. I then //reported// the incident in the logbook and to the next duty manager to come on shift. I would then //follow up// the incident by arranging to meet with the guests and asking about the situation and if there was anymore we could do to make the situation less offensive.

To show respect we must always add “La” after ones name, for example Tanya La. If addressing a high Lama use “Rinpoche” a common Lama with “Geshe La” even if he is not a Geshe. Tibetans believe that there are 3 different forms of respect and formality, they have even created into their language different forms of expression in everyday speech, they are the most respectful to be used when speaking to ones superiors, respectful to be used when speaking to ones pears and then there is everyday speech which is to be used when speaking to ones inferiors. Tibetans have a strong work ethic which is present in everything that they do. They take great pride in every part of their lives and therefore would be motivated to keep this section of their life as constant. Tibetans always take great pride in their personal grooming and dress, although as part of their mourning ritual family members will not comb their hair, clean their faces nor wear ornaments for 49 days. Family obligations are very strong to the Tibetan people, not only do they allow their personal grooming to lag whilst in mourning, family members take central roles in joyous occasions such as weddings. A wedding is performed by the groom’s uncle. The brides maternal uncle is the only person permitted to approve the wedding. There are several religious holidays although I was unable to find particular dates for these.
