Dear Chris- Thank you for gently introducing me to the lucidity and warmth of Shambhala level 2 and much more when I lived in Boston. I was attending a Kilung Rinpoche retreat in Quincy a while back with Chris. At the break, Chris, Michael Fagan and me went for a walk outside. I forget what we were talking about when I turned suddenly to Chris and said apropos of nothing “a yogin should not associate with a samaya corrupter even for an instant.” Chris paused, looked at me and then broke into a broad smile and repeated that line as though savoring it. I think it was one of the few times I may have surprised him. I will miss you, Chris - enjoy the bardos!
