The pilgrims were granted a meeting with Her Eminence Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche. This was on the date of the Tibetan New Year called Lama Losar, when students traditionally go to pay respects to their teachers. She was very kind and generous to delay a scheduled puja in order that we might hear her words of wisdom. Jigme Rinpoche and Her Eminence exchanged khatas. She contrasted the Dharma in the East and the West and spoke of how learning is important but it requires practice and heart. Empathy is not compassion. Devotion is hard to explain as one needs to come from something that can’t be put into words. Jigme Thrinley Rinpoche and Her Eminence Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche Jigme Thrinley Rinpoche and Her Eminence Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche We walked the grounds of the monastery complex with 300 resident monks. They included a World Peace Stupa and an inspiring statue of Guru Rinpoche. We went inside the stupa and heard teachings from Jigme Rinpoche. Each teaching immersed us yet more fully into the Sacred Journey. The World Peace Stupa Inside the World Peace Stupa at Mindrolling Monastery
