Lady Diana was instrumental in bringing Trungpa R. to North America. From the age of 16, in less than a decade, she rose to the occasion of being a queen of strength and bravery, carving out her own path in the equestrian arts that complemented that of the Shambhala buddhadharma. She was always fearless in the face of so many unknowns, because her love and faith in Trungpa Rinpoche's teaching was great. Especially in the early 70's, she put up with a great deal of chaos and very little privacy even at home before the mostly hippie sangha began to tame their minds. Not many mothers could do so. In many ways, Trungpa R found his match in Lady Diana.
