Karmê Chöling, 11-14 October 1990
This is the first time that Rinpoche visits Karmê Chöling.
Rinpoche gives a beautiful teaching at the arrival ceremony, where he, inspired by the layout of the shrine room, speaks about dharmadhatu and how wonderful Trungpa Rinpoche's students are practicing regardless of good times or bad.
Rinpoche then points out the progression of view based on his own spontaneous composition and continues to teach the shentong view based on Maitreya's text, drawing excerpts from chapter 1 and 3.

Beautiful quote from Rain of Wisdom, Lodro Thaye, on meditating based on view is like a garuda flying high in space without doubts. On the other hand, not knowing the view, is like a blind person wandering the plains. Therefore, Rinpoche will teach view.
Rinpoche composes verses for each school:
