Where the other three meet

Getting off the airplane at Varanasi we walk into a pool of Arabic women and men. "they are returning from Mecca" our driver informs us as we get into the car. We drive through the city and look at the scenary--Varanasi is the Hindu Mecca and pilgrims visit the city to soak in the river ganges as their final resting place. On this visit we happen to be visiting this city when the Dalai Lama is visiting and we walk through the original preaching areas where the Bhudda taught as thousands of tibetan monks do their pilgrimage to the city. We are in awe as three religions mesh and merge in this city. Jeresulum melds Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Here in Varansi-the other three meet.
