A treasure of information!

I've been a member of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition for ten years. Unfortunately, I never got to meet Lama Yeshe, though I have benefitted much from the organization he founded. Through reading Lama's teachings, I've gotten to know this great man after his death. With Vicki's book, I've gotten to know Lama even better and in a much different way than through his teachings; Vicki was close to Lama and her thorough style of writing helps my feelings of closeness even after his death. And now, I've gotten to know more about Lama Osel, so I hope I have the opportunity to meet him one day.
