Guest guest Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thank you sir , please do read the book if you have not yet done so . It is full of practical wisdom even while dealing with very heavy subjects like Death.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 That's a lovely and insightful poem. It's written by Portia Nelson, by the way, not Sogyal Rinpoche.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks for the correction .. Master Sogyal Rinpoche must have quoted Portia Nelson in his book , because that is where I read that poem .
