| Thinking of my Lama From the Namgyal Memorial Weekend 20 March 2005 || 'Thinking of my Lama' by Tarchin Hearn | Article by Thelma Rodgers | and many photos  by Tarchin Hearnwritten August 2004 at Mana Retreat, NZ Read beside the Wangapeka River during the Memorial Ceremony for the Ven. Namgyal Rinpoché 20 March 2005 Thinking of my lama. Those days of summer 2003 You graced the world with profound pith. The ultimate perfection resting, just as it is. You poured out your treasure vase a cornucopia of jewels, myriad eclectic ways of fathoming dharma through the means of body speech and mind. Great traditions of empowerment you scattered far and wide sowing seeds in the living earth of being's minds. You opened your worldly treasury weavings and jewels and perfumes and music and food and telescopes, using these wonders to feed the marvelling minds of flowering bodhicitta. You continuously pointed to material to embodiment and showed the way of love through celebrating the detail. Sitting now in New Zealand, a rememberance, of all of us with you The Great Empowerment of Mahamaya Sun streaming in the windows Row on row of red robes Moist eyes Blessed Recognition This poem has no end. A golden dandelion flower bloomed in our midst gradually becoming seed And the summer winds of Kinmount gently blew through the hall and the entire seed head floated out and up and over Catching thermals and crosswinds and down drafts Drifting on jet stream and planting flowers of laughing golden radiance Not lineage but multiage A vast blessing for the world In all the realms of experience may I never be separate from my lama May I use with joy and abandon all the teaching he gives me May the bodhisattva stages flourish at every level of being May Love and Clear Seeing - the wondrous blessing of the Victorious Ones Flower everywhere for everyone.
