May I express my deepest and most heartfelt devotion and gratitude to Chagdud Rinpoche and Lama Drimed for every kindness that they have shown me, both tangible and intangible. It is Lama Drimed, who with great wisdom and compassion serves as my primary source of inspiration to do individual retreat, without his guidance and support I would not have the courage to do retreat. A kindness that I can never repay. Through their guidance my life has become truly meaningful.
