Peter Kedge and Lama Yeshe, Tushita Meditation Center, 1973. “Tushita was truly a place for retreat, with Ling Rinpoche and Geshe Rabten as neighbors and other geshes engaged in retreats for years at a time living on the property itself."
Lama Yeshe in the gardens at Kopan Monastery, 1981. Photo by Jan-Paul Kool. "The red down vest he wore in Dharamsala was untraditional in that it was a modern Western garment stuffed with feathers, but traditional in that it did not have sleeves. He also wore a fringed zen, when the rule is that it should have cleanly hemmed edges. Lama’s zen was also a funny fuchsia color and bore obvious signs of age, yet he wore it everywhere."
Lama Yeshe in China, 1982. Marcel Bertels: “One day we came across a photographer’s stall with a painted set. Lama put on an embroidered Chinese robe and a beard and had his photo taken there. He also did a little dance on the set for Max and me."
Lama Yeshe visiting Tibet, 1982. "Lama also visited Sera Monastery, where only seventy monks remained. He found the site of his old room, sat down on the rubble and meditated."
