Then the Rinpoche of Qinghai took me on in order to dry his robes.
I've seen the wild man. Once, during a blizzard, he jumped down from the rocks in front of me, clutching a binbag before loping away down a gully, leaving spillage from the split sack in his wake. Instinctively his animal body knows how to make tummo, fire in the belly, whereas I as a determined young monk had to learn the skill. It takes equanimity. I practised alone in a cave in the hills, building an altar from stones. Someone donated a pair of designer trainers.
