I was in a Buddhist retreat session when Rinpoche received a text informing him that Nelson Mandala had died. He immediately began to practice, and then spoke about him for a little while. It was exquisitely beautiful.
This may be retreat-influence talking, but while I feel grief, my greatest emotion is glory. What a glorious man. What an example of who we can be, every one of us. Not President of South Africa, but deeply compassionate. This is what human beings are capable of. This is who we can become. This is what we are meant to be.
