Personal stories and reflections from students and friends.
I Heard a Story
I heard a story, over lunch at Karme Ling, once when i was there. The gentleman there, who offered me the story, helped build KTD.
Whenever i tried to do something for him, i failed –
i remember when i first came to KTD many years ago, i was trying to get all the teacher/newbie protocol down and it seemed to me, not doing so well.

While in retreat from ‘08 to ‘12, we retreatants had the pleasure of Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche’s lunch time visits. On these occasions, we were amazed how Rinpoche could anticipate our “temperature”. (Yes, we could run hot and cold.😀)

Snowball Fight!
Playful nature of the Guru. Blessings of snowballs after Amitabha Retreat at KTD. Years ago. Anyone could see that Khenpo Rinpoche enjoyed a good laugh – and a good snowball fight!
