—The Sakyong, Jampal Trinley Dradül

A Reflection on the VidyadharaAs part of my own contemplation on basic goodness, I reflected on my father’s life. He experienced the loss of his culture, the destruction
of his home, and the knowledge that his friends and family were being tortured.
One of the most brilliant minds of his generation—the last to be fully trained in Tibet—he became a refugee in places where nobody understood who he was or what he knew. Of all people, he had the right to say, I have been given this transmission of basic goodness, and I’m beginning to doubt it. People are not good.
Instead, he showed us basic goodness and urged us to create enlightened society.
