When you stand in pure silence you see your own fear melting. The drive, the hill, the monastery. Everything fell away. No turning back.

His simple advice changed how I see fear. I keep moving forward.

That is so beautiful You were graced by his presence and experienced that infinite emptiness.

Bokhar Rimpoche used to often say that people come to him for blessings for material things, but rarely is anyone thirsty for true spiritual wisdom. Those who were, they were graced by his presence.

I have always had difficulty wrestling with my western scientific and cynical mind in the context of Mahamudra but Bokar Tulku was the one teacher I had that seemed to be able to shatter it all in an instant. I attended several of his Mahamudra seminars in America and Siliguri back in the 90’s, but I became so busy with my own life that when he passed away, I was completely shocked and never got a chance to say goodbye. I feel orphaned to this day. I remember in a private meeting with him during one seminar at the hotel “Cindrella”, he was sitting on a bed in a tight lotus posture but very relaxed… as I came closer to him, I saw the pores in his skin and the stubbly hairs on his face and the pupils of his blue eyes were completely dilated — despite being in broad daylight — as if they were windows into infinite space. He smiled and was so kind and accepting… he put his hand on my head and recited some sort of prayer. I felt, at that moment, like he WAS somehow an embodiment of empty space, but with love and compassion and wisdom — if that makes any sense. It was if he was both there and not there at the same time. He said in broken English : “you have good practice..”, wishing me well. And I departed. The next year he said nothing at all and just handed me a tangerine. The moment I looked at it I had a very strong feeling that neither the fruit, the giver, or the recipient were there at all. And here I am, all these years later… completely lost. I am so confused and cynical; my practice is non-existent; I have so many unanswered questions…. I feel like I can’t progress any further in this life. I am so glad to have made that connection, though, and reading your story really made me feel his warmth once again, it has inspired me to try again. Thank you so much!

His establishment of a retreat center in Mirik has undoubtedly touched many lives, including mine. It’s inspiring to read about how his teachings and the monastery’s environment brought you peace and enlightenment.

His teachings about attachment and aversion are so profound yet simple, and the analogy of the journey to the monastery really struck me. This isn’t just a story—it’s a reminder of how powerful and transformative true spiritual guidance can be. Thank you for sharing such a deeply personal journey
