You guys have been complaining about FFL not being spiritual enough for you, right? Well, here's some spirituality. This fellow -- Khyentse Norbu -- once impressed my socks off, the one time I got to meet him in Santa Fe. He is the director of the *excellent* film "The Cup," and was in Santa Fe trying to raise money for his next film, "Travelers and Magicians." He is also a Tibetan lama ("The Cup" was set and filmed in the monastery he presided over at the time). Also, in Tibetan Buddhist culture he is considered a "recognized tulku," meaning that in their system they absolutely flat-out believe that this guy is the reincarnation of famous saints from previous centuries. This is what Wikipedia says about his lineage: Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche was born in far Eastern, Bhutan in 1961. At the age of seven he was recognized, by H.H. Sakya Trizin Rinpoche, as the third 'incarnation' (Wylie sprul sku) of the founder of Khyentse lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. The first incarnation was Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820–1892), who helped found the Rimé or ecumenical school of Tibetan Buddhism, centred in Dzongsar Monastery in Sichuan. Followers of this non-sectarian school sought to identify and make use of the best methods from the various long-competing and isolated schools of Tibetan Buddhism. This approach led to a blossoming of scholarship and writing beginning in the 1880s. The second incarnation was the renowned lama Dzongsar Khyentse Chokyi Lodro (1893–1959), who figured prominently in the export of Tantric Buddhism to the West as the root-teacher of a generation of influential and forward-thinking lamas. I don't know about any of this. all I know is that the night I ran into him was at a fundraiser attended by many rich and famous people in Santa Fe. I officially met him only during the 20 seconds in which I walked up and thanked him for "The Cup," but then I walked over and leaned out of sight on a nearby wall and watched him closely for a couple of hours. His *equanimity* blew my socks off. Rich/famous person after rich/famous person walked up to him and tried to get some "noogies" from him in terms of the "Oh, you're so famous that I should treat you specially" toady-ness they're used to, and They Didn't Get It. They didn't get ignored or shunned, either. They got *exactly* the same amount of this guy's attention and love as the girl working for $2.75 an hour who brought him his tea. I've *never* seen that kind of "completely self-sufficient equanimity" demonstrated as well. Anyway, for some reason today I got to thinking about this guy, decided to Google "interviews with Khyentse Norbu" and this is what I found. It's a very different setting, and a very different kind of response, but I still find the guy interesting. YMMV.

Re: [FairfieldLife] A high dharma talk from a teacher who once impressed Turq
Thanks for posting this, Michael. I had noticed it in the queue after the clip I posted, but didn't have the time to watch it earlier. I really like this guy. I don't know about you, but for me it's just a revelation to stumble upon a spiritual teacher whose spiel doesn't make me want to throw up in my mouth. This guy makes me laugh, he makes me think...what's not to like?
