There are many wonderful gifts Rinpoche has given all of us. I think what I appreciate most about Rinpoche was the incredible compassion he showed us in every way. In particular, I have great appreciation for the fact that we were so fortunate, all his western students and students everywhere around the world to be trained as impeccably as we were.
He was so focused in teaching us everything about practice and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, particularly the rituals, exactly as he himself had been trained. For that I thank Guru Rinpoche and I am so grateful to Rinpoche and all the amazing work he started, his endless work.
I remember Rinpoche would travel and teach throughout the year, every day, often staying up all night. Even if people came to him at four a.m. to request teachings or blessings, he would be available to them. That I appreciate the most. How hard he worked and how infinite his compassion was for all beings.
