Rinpoche was on the road with two of his students heading to a teaching in another state. On the way to checking into the hotel for the night, Rinpoche got a phone call that a student, let’s call her Sue, was very ill and requested Rinpoche to please stop and visit her.

When Rinpoche told the students who he was with that he wanted to go visit Sue, they protested that it was impossible. Sue lived fifty miles out of their way and they had hotel reservations, etc.

Rinpoche did not say a word but went with them to the hotel, and to his assigned room where he stayed the night.

The next morning, one of the students got a phone call from Sue, who said, much to the amazement of the students, that she wanted them to thank Rinpoche for coming all the way to her home to visit her last night. It meant a lot to her. She felt better already.

Khenpo Chenno!
