The most important gift in 2012 is one that I gave.
A few months ago my husband's Buddhist teacher, the 9th incarnation of the Traleg tulku lineage, His Holiness Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche passed away. His death was quite sudden & thus came as a shock to all who knew and loved him. Traleg has played a very significant role in my husband's life over the past 10 years & I too came to be fond of him through our volunteer work, living in his monastery in Tibet & attending the annual Buddhist summer school he convened in Melbourne.
For Christmas, I decided to give my husband something to remember Traleg fondly. Forever in our hearts & now forever on our wall in a beautiful 80x50cm canvas of this picture:

The sweetest thing of all is when we ask Banjo (who is only just learning his first words) 'Where's Rinpoche?", he runs into the dining room & points up to the picture on the wall. Traleg Rinpoche has a very special place in Banjo's life too...but that story is for another day.
