Just Like Home
Meeting Rinpoche was just like coming home. I had finally found my master. When you find your master, you feel calm, serene; you feel you know why you are here. You know you came here to help beings to relieve their suffering.
And Rinpoche taught us about that all the time. He was an example of compassion. He dedicated every thought he had to all beings. Once he said, “Whenever you recite the Tara mantra, think of all the times you have recited it and also dedicate every recitation to the benefit of all beings.” Then I realized that each time he said “Om Tare Tam Soha” he was trying to benefit all beings. And he said he would put all the Tara statues he ever made in this mantra. So that all beings could benefit from every simple statue he had made throughout the years.
