I found this website/blog today and have been lost in it for HOURS. This is just wonderful. May all beings benefit and thank you for this beautiful gift. The illustrations alone inspire me to practice more diligently, having received this precious human life.
You are doing a great job! WOW!
Karmapa Chenno!
Who is with you in the photo? He looks so very familiar to me – I mean VERY familiar. At first I thought it was HHK16, but that’s not possible. Amazing.
The lama is Goshir Gyaltsab Rinpoche
Indeed it is His Eminence Gyaltsab Rinpoche. May his life be long, and activities vast!
Great blog! Like discovering treasure hidden nearby! Thank you for sharing. I will be back for deeper exploration.
yes sir. I am agree with you.
I just came across your blog, maybe thru karmis connections, Ani Dechen was a very dear friends and to read her name and see her pic of her room brings tears to my eyes …. She indeed was in a way instrumental to bring me on the path …. Very nive nice to read your blog dear friend…
Thank you Rishi- that means a lot. I have fond memories of watching your film- she was a great force for His Holiness Karmapa. I happen to be in Sikkim right now, continuing on the path that she illuminated. Be well, and be in touch.
Justin
I find your blog very interesting. I like the way you write in spontaneous way, meditative within the language. Practice in Buddhism is always more than reciting the Mantra. It is a way how we come face to face with our own emotion, not calm and balanced affect but difficult and uncomfortable feeling about our self. Bless your study with HE Gyaltsab Rinpoche.

Justin,
I would like to simply thank you for your blog website, it is so rich in dedication and understanding. I’m a young practitioner of the Dudjom Tersar, and on returning to Australia after visiting my teachers, I have been asked by my university to look into options for Buddhist Chaplaincy. I’m am very much inspired by all your writings, and loved your article on chaplaincy,

Were you just ordained as a Repa by H.E. Goshir Gyaltsab Rinpoche while in Sikkim awaiting the transmission/emowerments of the Kagyu Ngak Dzod?
Dear Tsering Jinpa,
His Eminence granted the Repa ordination/empowerment last August.
Will you be attending the Kagyu Ngak Dzod?
Best,
Dorje Odzer
