QUESTIONS: Can you tell us about your dad, Father grew up as a khampa boy (don’t mess with campa’s, warrior culture – always fearless and courageous, yet kind). Father became the General Secretary of the Karmapa. Can you tell us a bit about your background, where you grew u, your lineage, and how you were ‘found’ if that’s the right term. When did you start studying Buddhism? What was studying like for you, and was there a lot of pressure? How have you worked to preserve ancient Tibetan literature and art Why did you decide to move to the US? How’d you get inspired to write this book? Are thoughts really like the boogieman??? Given guns just before father’s trip to Bhutan when he was 17 and then father passed away Why are our emotions “medicine if taken with knowledge; poison if abused”
