A second read will reveal all kinds of things i am sure. But on page 99 in the chapter titled "My Guru Samten Gyatso," Tulku Urgyen relates the following: "Everyone was afraid of him.

I must assume there are other old practitioners tucked away in Kham who were students of Samten Gyatso's, but from Tulku Urgyen's accounts i am under the impression Samten Gyatso didn't have that many "students" as it seems most people were afraid of him. But perhaps Erik can give a more knowing answer, as mine is only conjecture.pensumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08253154717997773018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12855129.post-1158093710430692932006-09-12T13:41:00.000-07:002006-09-12T13:41:00.000-07:00so does that mean Adeu Rinpoche is Samten Gyatso's...so does that mean Adeu Rinpoche is Samten Gyatso's last living student?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
