Tens of Thousands Pay Respects to Kusum Lingpa

In the West, some were fond of speaking of him is a condescending or patronizing manner, noting only what seemed to be his eccentricity.

That is because they do not know themselves sufficiently to begin to know him.

Kusum Lingpa was a fearless giant who never forgot his people, and for the past week, his people have demonstrated that they will never forget him.

The line of mourners stretched over a mile.

People waited for hours in the freezing weather.

It would be fair to say that most of Golok came.
