Thank you Rinpoche for the quizzes. These are very wonderful gifts. Is a interesting way to learn. Congratulations to all winner.
Wow! These are such wonderful gifts from Rinpoche. Rinpoche is always coming up with new ideas to bring Dharma to people. And some of Rinpoche’s idea is always exciting, new and compelling. The blogchat was such an adrenaline rush and it goes alongside with the Earring game as one of Rinpoche’s top fun Dharma activities.
How much do you know about Vajrayogini? Through this quiz alone, our knowledge on VY will improve tremendously..all thanks to the kindness of our Guru for coming out with such innovative ideas to help us learn and understand Dharma better.
Where else will you be spoon fed like that? What more Rinpoche does all these not expecting anything in return!
