- A sea of threads in this sticky web. But now I see milestones and signposts. I learnt with joy that Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, great teacher both to my own Root Guru and to the 14th Dalai Lama, was once incarnated as Geshe Langri Tangpa (1054-1123 CE). That name may not mean much to most people. He was often known as 'Grim Face' because of his stern expression that reflected the suffering he saw around him. He wrote a very famous Mahayana Buddhist text called "Eight verses for Training the Mind". Together with Atisha before him and Chekawa after him, he brought Lojong practice (training the mind) to a central position in Tibetan Buddhism. The way out of the web is now imprinted on the web itself!
- I have received journey reports from the path ahead. The route is strewn with boulders rolled there by a most unlikely source, but they are surmountable in the long run. And the view from further along the road is well worth the effort!
- I added a tail-piece edit to my story "My leader is a holy man".
