I became a student of Rinpoche in 1994. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to serve Rinpoche through Khyentse Foundation. This is the best thing that has happened to me. I did not get to know the Dharma and Rinpoche until I had some years of work experience. I had no idea how this experience could be of any meaningful use until I started working for the foundation.
