New York Times Article on Geshe Michael and Lama Christie
The New York Times published an interesting and balanced article by reporter Leslie Kaufman focusing on the Spiritual Partnership between Geshe Michael and Lama Christie.
It also includes a slide show from inside their yurt. This is the one they did their 3-year retreat in, and now where they live 4-months of the year, when teaching at Diamond Mountain University. You can also hear Geshe Michael and Lama Christie’s voice during the interview which is included on the slide show.
Much of the article is focused on the approximately 15-foot boundary the have kept for 10-years to never be separate from each other. It’s an extraordinary practice that shatters the tendency to be selfish. Just try it for a day or two with your partner to see what challenges it brings up in your mind. It will also give you insight into how remarkable and spiritually advanced these two Lamas are.
Being around them for many years now, we can report how effortlessly and happily they keep this practice.
