Seonaidh Yeshe Tungpa Perks embodied the warmth and beautifully crazy lineage of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. For those of us lucky enough to learn from him, he lived and expressed the Dharma in all his activities..........He was to us of the younger generation a being who existed with a heartbeat of the words of Trungpa's published works brought to life. He was a Celt in his wanderings, an idiot siddha and fool of the highest order......He was a shining example of warrior-spirit and the embodiment of Shambhala through is generous hospitality of himself and his world. His laughter challenged us to let go while bringing us fully into the moment. He knew realization is beyond form and with such bravery and light-heartedness he let us play with form while speaking from the formless. His wisdom trumpeted would cut the flesh off illusion's game while still appreciating and inviting our small selves to the table to feast. He had confidence in everybody (deserved or not) for he knew and shared that we are all enlightened and just don't know it yet. That is the wisdom from the ocean and not the wave. No one I met showed me the spirit of Trungpa in such completeness as did Sir John A Perks--------He was my teacher, my friend, my mentor, my Bonnie love
