The motto I am living by right now is, "What if everyone's happiness was your happiness?" This has been a great practice for the past two weeks of the New Prayer Hall Inauguration at my teacher's (Kachen Khen Rinpoche Lobsang Tstetan, pictured here with his family being blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama) at Tashi Lhunpo monastery in Bylakupee, South India. The teachings and vows and initiation bestowed upon us all through the incredible and non-fatiguable daily sessions were incredible blessings.
Many happy hearts, much sharing of dharma and incredible hospitality by the Jangchup Organizing Committee. We were housed and fed 3 delicious meals daily, sharing many unforgettable moments with dharma friends from around the world, dining with enlightened masters, and feeling humbled by the glory that Tashi Lhunpo Monastery has been restored to, led by tireless efforts of Kachen Khen Rinpoche, who always had time for everyone. Truly, deeply, entirely grateful and full of loving devotion.
This is a shining example of the warm hearted feeling we all took part in over these past weeks. Thank you to my teachers His Holiness the Great XIVth Dalai Lama of Tibet, to Kachen Khen Rinpoche Lobsang Tsetan, to Geshe Tsewang Dorje and Geshe Yeshi, to all the Kachens and Jangchub Organzing Committee, Volunteers, Staff and monks at Tashi Lhunpo, who helped, cared for, and cooked for over 30,000 people for 2 weeks straight. Magnificent Love.
love and laughter in the new year, sam
