Beautiful story, Jeff, and I love that picture of you and “your” Buddha! I hope you do return next year, and I’m also glad you had this lovely closure this year too.
It was a pleasure and a privilege being there with you, Leigh, and a gift to be able to share a place so central to my own creative life. Thank you for being such an inspired, and inspiring, part of that experience.
I can imagine you were in tears seeing your Buddha, as your story got me just reading about it. I love seeing this expanded view of art, keeping true to the traditional proportions. It’s just beautiful. Thank you for writing about this and sharing what you have found. Now I need to go have some chai.
This piece is so moving I am in tears. And so very well written, as well! Thank you for continuing to be so vulnerable and open us all up in the process.
Wonderful Jeff. I love how Nepal is such a huge layered world and such a tiny one at the same time. Seeing mention of the Sakya family brought back fond memories--so many people who love Nepal and Kathmandu have crossed paths with them, in the US and in Nepal.
Your old friend Buddha — that’s amazing! Only in Nepal… ❤️🙏🏽❤️

Wondrous story, beautifully told.
