Three years ago, Rinpoche called up and asked a small group of us to go to Bukit Merah to check out an arrowana farm with him. We ended up staying the night in Ipoh and visiting some cave temples. As I was looking through my photos today, I realised that three years ago, Rinpoche was […]

Rinpoche for Amitayus 🙂
