His Holiness refers to him as “my Root Guru,” and expressed his gratitude to his Guru in trhe foreword to his full length biography of Kyabje Ling Rinpoche.
Kyabje Ling Rinpoche was a root guru of TBob Thurman‘s as well, from exactly 60 years ago. He ordained him as a novice monk at that time, years later initiating hias forgiven layperson into the Guhyasamaāja and Yamāntaka Tantras. The new Kyabje Ling Rinpoche will be conferring the precious refuge ceremony and the Medicine Buddha initiation. He once incidentally proved to Dr. Thurman his continuity with his previous, when, at the age of 3 years, he remembered key things about their past interactions which he could not possibly have known from others.
