50 years in Exile


Dear Rinpoche-la
Today on planet earth, we are remembering the trials and tribulations of the Tibetan struggle for freedom. 50 years ago today, you too fled from your seat at Nalanda Monastery, central Tibet to Mustang. Its also the last day of Losar today.
No day passes without remembering you and your kindness, no day passes without heart-felt longing for to see your brillaint face, no day passes without prayers for your swift return in the southern blue sky continent, especially in this state of crisis we are facing today.
Honestly, I try my best to practice your teachings. Sometimes I do well,sometimes ok and sometimes not so well. Every moment is a chance to see our essence, every moment It is there, every moment you are there.
Please grace us with light and hope and quickly return in bodily form as per your sacred vow.

Yours truly, deeply and madly

Konchok Choedon.
