Enjoying the outdoors

Tsem Rinpoche during a rare moment of rest.

Or so it seems. Because while Rinpoche was sat next to a waterfall and enjoying the greens and sound of running water, the only reason Rinpoche was there was to scout ideas for construction techniques, building designs and landscaping ideas to make Kechara Forest Retreat a truly healing place for body, speech and mind. So yes, Rinpoche is always ‘working’ but to Rinpoche, it is not actually work when it is being done in service of others.
