I was first introduced to Rinpoche by my dharma bro Arjuna in Bir, India, in 2006. I was unemployed at that time, and my kind dharma brother and sisters sponsored an air ticket for me to meet Rinpoche. Thanks to their kindness, I had the opportunity to receive Rinpoche’s first advice and his teachings in Dzongsar Shedra. That was a priceless connection with Rinpoche! We met again in Baron Bay, Australia, when I attended his teachings in 2007. I was afraid to request Rinpoche to be my guru, but my dharma brothers and sisters encouraged me. When I finally picked up my courage, Rinpoche had a big smile on his face and gave me a nod. I felt like I had won the lottery! I will always listen and contemplate Rinpoche’s teachings and apply them in my daily life. His teachings inspire me to be a better person. I hope that the little service I am contributing to KF will help Rinpoche to fulfil his vast visions to benefit all.
