Last December 29, close to 300 people gathered in the Institute for Lama Jigme Rinpoche's winter course. It's three o'clock. There is neither Rinpoche's throne in place for the teaching, nor a scholar from Kalimpong arrived to teach philosophy, nor even one of Dhagpo's lamas. Under the benevolent regard of the Buddha, and before the slightly surprised one of the public, sit Julien and Olivier.

Guided by knowledge, the fruit of Dharma study, let us attentively observe what arises in us!. [...]

He met and followed the teachings of the 16th and 17th Karmapas as well as Shamar Rinpoche. They witnessed the devotion that he developed over the years.”
