retained from another time and place also make their way into the monasteries and private collections of great Practitioners and Masters. T ese types of relics are often found inside ancient Stupas or handed down from master to disciple over the centuries. A great many precious relics make up the collection that travels the world as part of the Maitreya Relic tour.
I was especially taken with
the relics of the historical Buddha SHAKYAMUNI – these are just too awesome! T is time around, I was also over the moon when I saw there were relics of some old Nyingma masters, including relics of Dilgo Kyentse Rinpoche, of HH Penor Rinpoche and even of Longchengpa, one time Abbot of Samye monastery. Most of all, I saw an old letter written by Yeshe Tsogyal, the dakini c onfi dante most intimately connected to Guru Rinpoche and relics of Guru Rinpoche himself.
I was genuinely glad I listened to
my dreams and made the eff ort to reconnect once more, not just with the relics but also with the Center that played host to them, LDC. I am truly overjoyed that the place is in good hands, with people
who revere Buddha so sincerely and who are benefiting so many with their devotion. T is is a picture of the Tara altar I set up at LDC many years ago. It is even lovelier today after many years of devoted prayers. T e
main Tara was a gift from Rinpoche; there are several sets of 21 Taras. T e backdrop art was by a Katmandu artist; the tsa tsas on the wall were from moulds made by the monks of Nalanda Monastery in France.
Beautiful offerings of candlelight and fruit made to Mother Tara and her twenty one emanations.
