Well, despite the fact that none of our dear retreat friends were able to be with us (we missed you all), Khenpo's visit was a total success! "Somehow," as Khenpo likes to say, our living room was transformed into a tiny dharma center where Khenpo gave a teaching on a four line prayer by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and the following day, a Tsokey Thug Thik empowerment! Ten people we'd never met before showed up and almost all of them turned out to live in our neighborhood! Now I know why there are so many prayer flags around--there really are Buddhists living in those houses! Also, Khenpo has said he'll come again. Woohoo!
Oh, and the happiest of New Years everyone! Wishing you lots of peace in mind and body!

Well, a guru visit certainly seems pretty darn intriguing. It seems you enjoyed yourself. Fabulous. Peace in mind and body is a wonderful wish and I therefore wish you the same.
