Still all the tulkus being born are men.

We do look for inspiration amongst our own sex. Why not? You go into temples and they're full of all the lineage lamas who are male. What message does that give to a young girl, except that somehow she got trapped in the wrong body because of bad things she did in a past life?

When Tibetan lamas die they stay in a realization of clear light nature of the mind for several days or weeks.

We all have our own karma and so different teachers will be meaningful to different students.

Sometimes people come and they have so much pain and confusion in their eyes... what to do? A few words is a little bit of balm but doesn't really solve the deep disease within.

Basically, I feel to spend the rest of my life doing retreat.

My body is not good for prostrations.
