So we are going through kind of roughly the life of our precious master, and I did not go into all the details because that would be too long.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 2 of 56 · 0:59

We have gone through. But I've been also told that I explained how we, on March 21, that particular time,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 3 of 56 · 1:11

And then in the southern region, there is an area which is called Nyal, which is, in our time,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 4 of 56 · 1:10

But there isn't anything like that. And a lot of villagers and farmers and estates

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 5 of 56 · 1:08

But at that time, there was endless people of all walks of life, monks and lay people and so on, army

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 6 of 56 · 1:08

We have to cross the Himalayas, because now between us is these high Himalayan mountains,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 7 of 56 · 1:05

But in a peaceful time, nobody, normal people would never take that journey,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 8 of 56 · 1:13

peaceful time, nobody would ever travel except the natives and so on. Anyway, we took that and there's one which is a little bit more east, again another…

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 9 of 56 · 1:05

But nobody was there. Everybody has gone.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 10 of 56 · 1:14

So anybody who came after, they had to take some other road.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 11 of 56 · 1:06

You know, that was really the most difficult. Then they reached quite far to the east of India,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 12 of 56 · 1:06

They went through many things. They came with a plane, then with a ship, and so on.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 13 of 56 · 1:11

one valley to another, always lower and lower. Then everything turns green.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 14 of 56 · 1:11

And these leeches, as you travel, then without knowing, you never sense anything.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 15 of 56 · 1:05

And they don't, it takes hours, maybe sometimes days, for them to fall down.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 16 of 56 · 1:07

The worst thing, when they go into the nose of the horses, even nose of animals, then it takes a long time.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 17 of 56 · 1:10

But they are of a Tibetan race, like similar to Tibetan race,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 18 of 56 · 1:12

Even the same monastery, even though it's a Giluwa monastery, like in the other place

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 19 of 56 · 1:03

They make it, you know, the whole hat, and then like tails on all four sides.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 20 of 56 · 1:09

us on the road and bring a very big basket full of all kinds of things, mice and a lot of things, grains,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 21 of 56 · 1:20

So you can take them, you know, just with free mind. You don't need to have any worry.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 22 of 56 · 0:58

So then you become more and more healthy. No, wealthy.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 23 of 56 · 1:07

Indian flag on the roof of a house. And this house is the first Indian border patrol station.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 24 of 56 · 1:13

The roads are terrible, terrible. even though our road, which we follow,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 25 of 56 · 1:05

And Serenjin and many other people who are here, many of them took that road

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 26 of 56 · 1:10

But when we came in this town, it was all empty. Everybody had left.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 27 of 56 · 0:57

But the day after we left that last town, Chinese army came. So then from that moment on, that road is blocked.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 28 of 56 · 1:17

And, but then after it became less important because another new route has started in the middle,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 29 of 56 · 1:11

You know, Nubitia's holiness and the whole party traveled through there.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 30 of 56 · 1:18

And from then on, then we were taken in the Indian military trucks.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 31 of 56 · 0:56

There is no more need to fear. What I was going to explain is also on this journey, when we still had to fear before the Indian border. Then sometimes we…

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 32 of 56 · 1:11

It is glowing worms, these flying, glowing worms, many more, many of them, which we never had in Tibet.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 33 of 56 · 1:09

Well, that's such a relief, and there's such a relief. And so it's extraordinarily great help.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 34 of 56 · 1:09

But they're all same size. They're all same size.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 35 of 56 · 1:09

And we received these huge pumpkins And this huge, this big vegetable kind of fruit,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 36 of 56 · 1:05

So my mother was very, very worried, very concerned. And then we went separately instead of waiting

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 37 of 56 · 1:18

The Tibetan traders came and in Kalimbong they have big, you know, how to store house and so on, you know, for storing the wools from Tibet and also other…

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 38 of 56 · 0:57

My mother is very, in that way, very capable and amazing. So then I went to a school, to work in a Tibetan school, quite a big one.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 39 of 56 · 1:11

And then the moment when I met Geshe Rinpoche, then I had not any other thought

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 40 of 56 · 1:08

And then finally, there was a group of lamas in Kalimpong, including Pabong, Kalimpuche, et cetera, a group of Tulkus.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 41 of 56 · 1:10

And then after spending about two years, less than two years, one year and a half or something like that in Kalibong,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 42 of 56 · 1:15

And then that way we spent many years in Dharamsala until we came to the West.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 43 of 56 · 1:01

That is back in 1968, when the first Westerners came to see Geshe Rinpoche.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 44 of 56 · 1:10

He was a young student of theology of Zurich University. And he went straight to His Holiness.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 45 of 56 · 1:08

And that way, there's one way of, I even have studied that. But anyway, her son, she has become, she was quite lucky because when our precious master

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 46 of 56 · 1:04

So therefore, her son, Martin, already met Devjit Rinpoche. And so I think first, his mother sent him directly

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 47 of 56 · 1:04

In Dharamsala, his whole dilemma had the wish me and another two of us to learn English.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 48 of 56 · 1:02

And so that was my English. But then His Holiness' order came

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 49 of 56 · 1:09

I did something he misunderstood, and something very strange, funny things happened, and we had to laugh and laugh.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 50 of 56 · 1:12

And it is a place where all the travelers coming from the west came with their vans and cars and so on.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 51 of 56 · 0:57

And when they arrived in Pakistan, it's totally broke. So they had just lived somewhere,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 52 of 56 · 1:01

Then they are in the middle of this little town. Now it's totally changed.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 53 of 56 · 1:07

So then it's almost like a love on the first sight kind of thing like that happened.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 54 of 56 · 1:07

There was student revolution. There were lots of revolution after revolution,

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 55 of 56 · 1:00

And he stayed also in Damsa a long time. He studied Tibetan perfectly, like in Maritraes.

Tuesday 6 October 2026 · 56 of 56 · 1:05

So people call him Geshe, but he is not a red Geshe, but Geshe Karpo.
