Retreat Finished
Portland, OR — August 13, 2010
From Ven. Roger:
Rinpoche has scheduled a 6 am departure from Tushita (Rinpoche’s retreat finished), then a departure to Delhi 13 hours by car, then a flight to LA via Hong Kong, and then another flight to Wisconsin to be with Geshe Sopa Rinpoche. It’s now 10 am and Rinpoche is still doing prayers and not ready to go … just waiting … It is 12 noon and still no sign of Rinpoche wanting to go … It is 2 pm – Rinpoche suddenly moves and they are off!
They stop for dinner halfway to Delhi, its very hot. Rinpoche takes time out to check mos for a student who has cancer. There are many mo’s at the dinner table in the restaurant.
On the road again, and while they’re driving, Rinpoche is checking some other things for people who need help.
It looks like they are arriving early, early morning and then a little rest, a couple of appointments and then to the airport to catch the flight. This time the flight is complicated as they are combining two different air tickets due to a number of changes, and then they have some visa complications due to changes and then they have too much luggage and one less person flying … not sure how this is all going to work … but managing.
On the road again …
