A teaching by Geshe Dorji Damdul at Tibet House in NEw Delhi

Arrival in India was in Delhi on February 7 early in the morning and wasted no time in immersing the group in the Journey. Within hours we were treated to a special opportunity to meet with Geshe Dorji Domdul, the director of Tibet House in New Delhi and a former translator for His Holiness Dalai Lama. Rinpoche had requested that he speak on the meaning of pilgrimage and the importance of merit. 

We were introduced to something that would become a theme of the Sacred Journey — humility. Geshe-la explained how he became the translator to His Holiness as if by accident, giving himself no credit for all of his learning and expertise. The teaching helped us all to see the importance of the Journey we were beginning and how it will affect our lives. Afterwards Rinpoche elaborated on the teachings. We forgot all about jet lag and were ready for our Journey. ​
