Shamar Rinpoche, Dhagpo Kagyu Ling May 2014.

"Blessing Smile"

When I think of Rinpoche, I remember him so often in his powerful, intimidating and overwhelming presence - but he could make the room light up more than anyone. His smile says it all, it was as though being around him your heart would literally melt and you couldn't do anything else but to smile back as big and warmly as you possibly could.

I miss you so much Rinpoche
