Khentrul Rinpoche's Visit

In December Khentrul Rinpoche came to teach in Whitehorse after having been on a long tour in Alaska. I went to Juneau to go to his teachings there and picked him up. Paloma, Kim, Rinpoche and I were all squished into my car for the long, cold drive over a Mt pass from Skagway to Whitehorse. I then hosted him and cooked for him. I had such a special time with him. I also got to know a more mischievous side of him.


Rinpoche got out of the car to talk with some Links that were on the road. They are usually very illusive and this was the first time I had ever seen one. They seemed to hardly care that we were there. Unfortunately by the time I found my camera they were out of sight.

Rinpoche made a very nice connection with some of the local native people.
