This is not a spectacular photo, I know, but I wanted to post it in honor of the 75th birthday of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama (6 July). While he is not formally my teacher, I have received teachings from him, including teachings on Tara (the female bodhisattva of compassion, whose Chinese name is Kwan Yin), who has become very important to me.
Thank you for your wisdom and compassion, Holiness, and for your willingness to teach so many. May you live a long and healthy life for the continued benefit of all sentient beings, and may you continue to return to us for as long as we need you, until samsara ends.

Hello! It may interest you that I too received teachings from H.H. The Kalachakra Tantra is my central practice. You might care to visit my blog at http://organubl.wordpress.com/ If you like what you read, you might consider a link on your own site. Thank you.

Thanks for the comment, Toshiyori! I haven’t had time to read over much of your blog yet, so I’ve only browsed the recent posts, but I like the dharma reminders there and I think your project of continuing Rev. Tyuzi Hasimoto’s work is fantastic. I will definitely be returning to read more soon. 🙂
