Our Pilgrimage to Tibet (BK-51)

Our first trip to Tibet, over ten years ago, was a life-changing event for me and my family. Being asked by my dharma teacher of many years to stop what I was doing, take a leave from my business and go to Tibet—all within about a month—was mind boggling, to say the least. It turned my life upside down.

Of course we would go. I had asked my teacher, for years, in every interview, if there was anything special he wanted me to do, and always he had responded that I should just keep on practicing meditation, and so on. It had become routine that there was nothing in particular he wanted me to do, and then this: go to Tibet, and soon.
