Ringu Tulku Rinpoche’s long awaited visit to Crestone from October 9-13th was one of the highlights of this year. His organization, Bodhicharya and Steve Winn arranged his teaching schedule here. He stayed in Chester Wood’s house, managed by Barhara Falconer and assistant Zoe de Bray and taught on the 6 page Mipham teaching, LAMP THAT DISPELS DARKNESS, from Crystal Cave, pithy teachings translated by Eric Pema Kungang at Colorado College. Dawn Hutchinson, a current 3-Year Retreatant at Vajra Vidya and her husband, Denny Davidson, hosted an intimate dinner with Rinpoche and Venerable Ani Pema Choedrun, Ani Thubten Salden, Steve Winn and Zoe de Bray (1st photo below). After Rinpoche’s teaching was completed a wonderful rainbow appeared! (first two photos Dawn R. Hutchinson, remaining photos Jim Campbell and Steve Winn)
We said goodbye to Rinpoche with a Sang puja at the Tashi Gomang Stupa with many people from all traditions attending. Jack Siddall tended the fire and sang a Milarepa song.
