Rinpoche invited a few of us out for dinner, a movie and then gave a profound Dharma teaching in KFC (we had the mash, coleslaw and wedges!) on emptiness. What stuck out for me? That ordination is going cold turkey on the way in which we act based on the values we impute onto phenomena […]

According to Buddhist scriptures, this lifetime is not the first in which I’ve met Rinpoche and he has been my teacher. After some of the things I’ve seen and heard today, today more than ever I am grateful that Rinpoche kept his bodhisattva vows of compassion lifetime after lifetime, holding on to me from my […]

“The reason I was with Rinpoche the night your grandmother died is this statue. We went down to Singapore to get it.” My mother explaining why Rinpoche will never give this statue away 🙂 the next day, Rinpoche was in Penang conducting my grandmother’s funeral.
