Bardor Tulku Rinpoche is the third incarnation of Barway Dorje. I first met him during a weekend teaching at FCCJ Kent Campus that was graciously hosted by Jacksonville's Karma Thegsum Choling or KTC. He gave a teaching on Mahamudra which is an advanced meditation of the Kagyu Tradition.
I'd only been to a public talk once before and it happened that there were some scholarships available so that I could attend the weekend teaching. It was amazing. I took refuge in the Buddha for the first time, at least in this lifetime, and also experienced an awakening of my mind in direct correlation with my spiritual body. It sounds hokey but it was alot like the first time you find Jesus, or if you found Jesus and a $100 bill in each pocket of every article of clothing for the next week.
It was amazing.
Mahamudra is a very intense and advanced form of meditation which cuts through the roots of our ignorance and if done improperly can also drive you clinically insane. After meeting Bardor Rinpoche I decided to ask him to be my spiritual friend or in eastern terms, my Guru. He declined. Just kidding.
