Patrick Deason

I was fortunate to meet Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, Chokling Rinpoche and Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche during Losar in 1995 in Kathmandu and Nagi Gompa, a blessing for which I still rejoice. I am a lay member of Rangjung Yeshe Gomde CA and support their vision of a forested retreat space and education center. I live in Oceanside, CA, a General Contractor by trade and a photographer by calling.

ARTIST OF LIFE

I am facing the loss of an old friend and she is, by turns, weak and failing and then blooming with renewed energy. The spark in her eyes returned as bright as ever. The ebb and flow so remarkable and yet so sudden as to question my role in this play. Who am I to decide when pain and suffering is too much to bear?
