This morning, in the place where the Buddha attained enlightenment, in the presence of over 10,000 monks and many lay people, I present to His Holiness His “Secret Biography” written by Khyongla Rinpoche. We then distributed copies to all present.

I wish you a merry Christmas and a very happy new year, with love and prayers — n
Happy Thanksgiving to my dear family of friends
Many many thanks to all who have so generously given toward the creation of Khyongla Rinpoche’s stupas,
Nicky
We have ordered two silver stupas in memory of Khyongla Rinpoche
one will be in the Rato temple
the other at The Tibet Center - Kunkhyab Thardo Ling
where Rinpoche’s belongings are stored
Work has begun
measurements made
then scorching
the master awaits his money
I briefly visit America, nieces sort through Moroccan things
and nurture next generation
with pride!
dentistry is needed
as is camera repair
then a brief stop in Rome
to see my father
always a blessing
A pit stop in Delhi
and to Dharamsala
for some science of the brain
Finally home to Rato
I visit neighbors
some have new wheels
though not all
most have nothing
they tend their abode
little ones perform
there is some running water
it’s important to sweep
I visit my old friend Baba Sab
he makes flower garlands
Then to Manipal to print Rinpoche’s Secret Biography of His Holiness
we receive Ganesh’s blessings
Saint Anthony has a place nearby
close to the dengerous beach
we don’t go in
but return to Rato
where Rinpoche now a monk’s room
