I'm not sure if condolences are appropriate in this case (not being a Buddhist myself) in that I think that Geshe-la is fine = it's just sad for those of us left behind. Sam is flying to India on Wednesday 25 Feb arriving the 26th in Hyderabad where he will be attending a friend's wedding. He then wanted to make his way to Gaden Shartse in order to pay his respects to Geshe-la. It was only on reading this blog which we found through Googling the monastery in order to find out the best way to get there that we discovered that Geshe-la's body is being flown back to India. My question is what is the best way to get to Gaden Shartse - Sam will be flying from Mumbai on about the 2nd of March. We were thinking of routing him through Hubbli but not sure where he should go from there. Would you be able to send some information? You have my email address or you could post a reply here. I realise that you are also in the midst of travelling and so may not be able to answer - I'm sure we'll find the way somehow! Wishing you a safe journey. I loved Geshe-la very much too - he was like a cheeky grandfather figure to me. I am so honoured to have known him and so glad he got to meet my children on our last trip through LA in 2005. Best wishes, Nadia Nelson Perth, Western Australia PS - we also know Lobsang too through the Long Beach centre - not sure if he remembers Sam from Alaska. Hello,
My husband, Sam Nelson, who now lives in Australia was a student of Geshe-la’s and we visited him in Long Beach every time we flew back to the States to visit family. I’m not sure if condolences are appropriate in this case (not being a Buddhist myself) in that I think that Geshe-la is fine = it’s just sad for those of us left behind.
Sam is flying to India on Wednesday 25 Feb arriving the 26th in Hyderabad where he will be attending a friend’s wedding.
