Some of you may be wondering about me.

Let me tell you a little of my past.

I am twenty six years of age.
I had my first epiphany at the age of six - when I was still a child.
Twenty years ago.

I lived down the road from a Buddhist commune in a log cabin with no electricity or phone.
At that time I was recognized by a visitor to Chenrezig.

I wanted to visit him.

So my mother and I walked up the hill.
She was worried that I would be upset if I did not get to see him.
She kept saying that he would be really busy and would probably not have the time to see me.

So it was that we stopped at the small shop at the last base of the hill.
I bought a picture of him and was holding it in my hand when a priest enters the room.

"Geshi Legden will see you now" he said to me.
My mother stated who she was and he replies to him: "Yes you may come too".

I will say that there is very little that I can (offhand) remember of the meeting
- save for his  incredible purity.

One thing he said however, has always remained with me.
He said to my mother: "Take good care of him - he will do big things someday".

I sincerely hope that I have done what I could to make his belief real.
