Hi Mandarava,

I feel I should know you!

Mingyur Rinpoche has been my Guru for over 10 years, so I attended all his visits to Wales, and usually travelled with Rinpoche, Lama Soto and Chodrak round the UK. Also I know Lama Rabsang. And finally your photo is from the Guru Rinpoche Drupchen at Samye Ling, where I lived for over 3 years.

What's your name? welcome here, it is very nice.

Best wishes,

samdrup.

Samdrup it's me Jess.I do know you My partner's Phil Gardner you know Phil as well.Glad to see you here. We spent a lot of time with Lama Rabsang but we're now taking things easy and letting someone else take care of things at the Palpung Centre.We went travelling in India and Nepal for the best part of a year.We got back late summer of this year so we're still finding our feet here.

Hope you're keeping well x

My email is * * *

It's very nice people know each other, but I have to add that posting of your own e-mail is unsafe. I mean spam and some other pleasures of our civilized life

[Stewart]

Yeah, good point, duly noted

Thank you Dharma Atma

[Dharma Atma]

Thank you

De rien, mon ami... de rien...

[Mandarava]

Samdrup are you on face book?

[Stewart]

I was, but decided it was too much hassle to maintain I will PM you my email address.

[MrDistracted]

You both have a wonderful teacher, I rejoice in that....and in your reconnection here.

I met Mingyur Rinpoche in London a few years back and he gave me his card with his contact details.

I found it in my wallet a few weeks ago and the irony was not lost on me. Probably the most redundant bit of card I will have in my wallet for the next 3 years

Hello,

Thank you, he is a wonderful teacher. Too many stories over the years to recount here, but I feel very fortunate to have connected with him. Jess and Phil too.

Apparently Rinpoche was spotted near Tso Pema a few weeks back, looking well....around Tso Pema is an awesome area, I spent sometime there a few years back. Guru Rinpoche and Mandarava caves are very special, with many Yogis living around. I am sure Rinpoche will fit right in perfectly. His Dzogchen Guru, Nyoshul Khenpo lived in this area as a wondering Yogi for a long time.

I rejoice in his activity!

samdrup.

Ps. Hang onto the card, who knows it might be your connection to Rinpoche one day!

Pps. I have to thank my good friend Magnus for emailing me about MR at Tso Pema. Apparently It's on Facebook somewhere, but I'm not
