Sad News — The passing of Tashi, the E.C. Bodhi-Cat

With sadness, we inform you that the beautiful and devoted white cat who lived with Lama Kunga Rinpoche, has passed on.  He was apparently the victim of a motorist as his body was found in the middle of Cambridge Street, not far from home.  In addition to his own outdoor adventures, Tashi frequently attended meditations, empowerments, and tsoks in the shrine room. He was loved by everyone and shared his affection in return. We pray for his quick rebirth in the human realm where he can meet gurus and continue on the Bodhisattva path.
