Supper at 3am with Rinpoche

February 20, 2011 0

At least once every day, I take a step back to look at this photo and marvel at the opportunities I’ve been given. To sit down at the feet of one of the most attained beings in the world, and have supper with him – he be a fool who does not cherish such precious […]

Homage to the Lord who purifies my spiritual path by clearing up obscurations for my mind to become single-pointed, undistracted and focused on a single purpose, I bow down to the Lord and Lady of emerald hue who repairs my highest commitments and samayas.

When people love you…

When people love you, NEVER NEVER NEVER hurt them. Love them back by being loyal, working hard and even if you have to, give your life for them. Remember. Love is wishing for the people that love you never to be harmed. And you would take the harm for them. – Tsem Tulku Rinpoche
