The thread that runs through the lives of the incarnations of Kyabje Domo Geshe Rinpoche can be summarized in a passage from The Way of the White Clouds, by Lama Anagarika Govinda, a disciple of Domo Geshe Rinpoche Ngawang Kalsang. Lama Govinda describes an extraordinary vision which Domo Geshe Rinpoche manifested to many people — possibly around the turn of the twentieth century — and which resulted in the following decision on the part of this great master:
“…Tomo Geshe conceived the idea to bring the teachings of the Enlightened Ones not only to the people of his own country but to the world at large, irrespective of race, caste, colour, or creed.
And so he stepped out of his quiet valley and traveled all over the countries of the Himalayas and to the sacred places of Buddhism in India. And wherever he went he planted hope and inspiration in the hearts of men; he healed the sick, taught those who were ready to receive the truth of the Dharma, and left in his wake many a disciple to carry on the work which the Buddhas had ordained him to do.”
