"That was it!"
The podcast that changes your mind by listening to inspiring people.
I'm Marion, and I'm bringing you to the Drikung Kagyu Rinchenling monastery. in Kathmandu, Nepal.
From October to December 2024, over fifteen hundred monks, nuns, and practitioners from all over the world gathered for something extraordinary.
His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche shared the Dam Ngak Dzo teachings, The Treasure of Precious Instructions over a thousand years old.
But this isn't just about ancient wisdom. This is about modern transformation!
The question I asked myself when I first arrived at the monastery was simple... yet profound.
Why had fifteen hundred people chosen to spend two and a half months in a monastery... sitting cross-legged for nine hours a day... listening to initiations, teachings, and practical instructions... all in Tibetan?
I watched. I listened. I asked questions.
And what I discovered fascinated me completely.
These people weren't just random practitioners. They were interconnected... like threads in an ancient tapestry.
I'm delighted to introduce you to Khenpo Tashi Rinpoche, Khenchen Rangol, Gyalten Samten, Tulku Sonam, Viivi Karma, Drupon Yeshe, Drupon Palden, Sara, Carolina, Tashi-Tobgye and Geyen.

Khenpo Tashi Rinpoche, the Himalayan master who connects all the extraordinary lives I have met
"That was it!"
The podcast that changes your mind by listening to inspiring people.
I'm Marion, and I'm bringing you to the Drikung Kagyu Rinchenling monastery. in Kathmandu, Nepal.
From October to December 2024, over fifteen hundred monks, nuns, and practitioners from all over the world gathered for something extraordinary.
His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche shared the Dam Ngak Dzo teachings, The Treasure of Precious Instructions over a thousand years old.
But this isn't just about ancient wisdom. This is about modern transformation!
The question I asked myself when I first arrived at the monastery was simple... yet profound.
Why had fifteen hundred people chosen to spend two and a half months in a monastery... sitting cross-legged for nine hours a day... listening to initiations, teachings, and practical instructions... all in Tibetan?
I watched. I listened. I asked questions.
And what I discovered fascinated me completely.
These people weren't just random practitioners. They were interconnected... like threads in an ancient tapestry.
You see, I had come to Nepal after years of intense work on the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. I arrived with my teacher, Khenpo Tashi Rinpoche... with whom I had founded, in France, a Buddhist center called Mila Center.
But here, in this sacred space, I discovered something extraordinary. He wasn't just my teacher... he was a central figure in this entire gathering.
"It's normal," he told me simply. "I was the Abbot of Dehradun monastery for ten years. Half the participants were my students."
And as he travels the world teaching Buddhist philosophy... the lay practitioners knew him too.
During my interviews, person after person spoke to me about karma... about karmic relationships... about meetings that seemed like destiny.
So I decided to do something different with this episode.
Instead of one transformation story... I'm bringing you the story of the man who connects them all.
Today, I'm delighted to introduce you to Khenpo Tashi Rinpoche, the Himalayan master who connects all the extraordinary lives I have met.
Let's discover his "That was it!" moment... and the karmic connections that bind us all.
