Rinpoche’s Heath
Portland, OR — August 14, 2010
From Ven. Roger;
Recently, during retreat, His Holiness the Dalai Lama said to Rinpoche (on more than one occasion) to be very careful with his health. So of course, Rinpoche had no choice. Just before leaving Dharamsala His Holiness said again to Rinpoche, “Look after your health….Stay on Tibetan medicine now long term.”
Rinpoche is taking Tibetan and Western medicine, he’s been circumambulating His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s temple every day for at least 40 minutes and watching the food he’s eating, particularly the amount of carbohydrates. He’s even making an effort to rest a little more from time to time. The result is that his sugar levels are down quite a bit! They are still not normal but a lot better. This is very good news! Let’s see if this can continue when in the USA and when traveling. Rinpoche’s blood pressure still needs to come down…but it is little better.

I have been worried about precious Rinpoche and his health and a week or so, began prayers for him. I am so glad that His Holiness has requested Rinpoche slow down. And I rejoice that he is a little better. Please Live long my kind Guru and may any obstacles to your perfect health be removed most compassionate one.
