Goodbye Forever Volume III

Book Talk based on Goodbye Forever Vol. III by Ngak'chang Rinpoche and Khandro Dechen.

We will discuss up through chapter 19.

About the book: "An incognito English incarnation of an early 20 century Tibetan Lama returns to the Himalayas in 1975, after three years at Art School in Bristol. He continues his training in Bodhanath, Nepal, with Kyabjé Düd’jom Rinpoche – the Head of the Nyingma Tradition. He is referred to the ferocious Künzang Dorje Rinpoche in Tso Pema – for training in Dzogchen Men-ngag-dé. A harrowing month of interogatory harangues ensues – but he is finally accepted, not simply as a disciple, but as a heart-son. He returns to Düd'jom Rinpoche to recount his experience. He is given instructions and predictions. He will reveal the Aro gTér when he commences life as a Lama in the West - but first he must find a consort. She will make everything possible – but how he will find her proves challenging. He travels between Bodhanath and Tso Pema – but time is running out. He returns to Britain periodically to earn the wherewithal for further sojourns in the Himalayas. He has no guidelines for how to proceed in the West – other than the predictions of his Lamas."


Ngak'chang Rinpoche and Khandro Dechen are the Aro gTér Lineage Lamas and have specialised in expressing the Nyingma Inner Tantras, with an emphasis on incorporating practice in everyday life. Their enthusiasm for both the secular and religious Arts, inspired by Kyabyé Düd’jom Rinpoche, is central to what they teach. They address 21st Century society whilst remaining true to the ancient tradition in which they were trained by their Lamas.
