Translating the Words of the Buddha
"...the survival of Tibetan Buddhism could depend on its translation into other languages, the Buddhist heritage and culture that permeated
Tibetan life for more than a thousand years has all but disappeared in India, its country of origin."
—Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche
Stories of His Holiness the 16th Karmapa
I was fortunate enough to be present at the fulfillment of this prophecy. In October, 1974, His Holiness Gyalwa Karmapa came to Colorado at
the invitation of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. I was asked to be his personal chauffeur. His Holiness expressed a desire to meet with the Hopi
Indians in Arizona.

Rinpoche's room.
