"When harmful places are abandoned, disturbing emotions gradually diminish. Being without distraction, virtuous endeavors naturally increase. Being clear-minded, certainty in the Dharma arises. Resorting to secluded places is the Bodhisattva's practice." - from the 37 Bodhisattva Practices
"In brief, this alone is the definition of introspection: the repeated examination of the state of one’s body and mind. I shall practice it with my body. What is the use of merely reading the words? Will a sick person have any benefit merely by reading about medical treatments?"-Shantideva

Did Rinpoche give the Red Tara from Osel Dorje Terma?
If so, the image is just slightly different.
ktt (tsundo)
hi tsundo. you are correct, Rinpoche did say when he was giving the empowerment that the image was not quite the same, however this was the picture on the vase, along with Kurekulle.
do you have the correct image? i would love to have a copy if you do.
thanks
Yes, I have it.
It is the complete thanka image of Osel Dorje's terma.
I don't know if Bongtul Rinpoche painted it His-self or not, but that is who David got it from, and then I got copy from him.
I was told not to give it out, but you received the empowerment--so it should be ok. Just please do not post it or give it out (I guess because it is 'uncommon' and particular to the terma).
e-mail me, and then I can reply with the image (that is if you promise not to post it or give it out--just going by what I was told).
my addy is:
