Are you sure?

When I first met Rinpoche, I had the impression I had met only a Buddhist old weird master. Then came a sensation of a very, very strong familiarity. However, the natural distance between a woman from Minas Gerais, Brazil, and a master from Tibet made me feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Months later, as if I was looking at my life after a hurricane, there I was, by his side many, many times literally shaking my head so that my thoughts wouldn’t be revealed. It was no use, though. The more I tried to avoid it, the more I heard him asking: “Are you sure?”
