When I was new to buddhism, a good friend of mine was telling me about how spetial was a lama that also was a Buda, as I was listening to my friend, I had the wish to eventually have a teacher of that kind, a perfect guide.

With the passing of time I ran into Rinpoche, who was the embodyment of that wish. With little but direct teachings he insisted on what practice to perform, practices that would fill a lifetime. I would always hold in my heart his advice on every level, it has been a great loss.
