In 1986 I was in Dharamshala, India staying at the Green Hotel there. Tenzin was a student of Geshe Lobsang Gyatso from Kham province In Tibet who was a Geshe which means "Spiritual Friend" but takes until you are in your 40s to attain if you are lucky sort of like a "Doctor of Divinity" I suppose but it takes longer to achieve than a Doctor of Divinity. Geshe Lobsang Gyatso left Tibet and Lhasa with the Dalai Lama and came to Dharamshala when they escaped the Chinese then. Both Geshela and the Dalai Lama are of the Gelukpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
Tenzin, who had been a Tibetan Buddhist monk until his parents got old and needed to be financially supported in old age, gave his robes to his teacher, Geshe Lobsang Gyatso and became a Mountain Climbing guide for foreigners in the Himalayas to support his parents until they passed on. This is how things are done among Tibetans in their culture. Tenzin later married an American lady we knew there called "Tara" from Minneapolis and returned to the U.S. eventually to live there with her.
Tenzin was given permission by monks and Lamas for my whole family (wife and 3 children ages 10 to 14 then) to visit Ling Rinpoche who was in transition at this time. We hiked many miles up from Dharamshala to a small rock house or hut with a slate roof which was common in that area then.
We walked into the house and were met by 2 Tibetan Buddhist monks and Ling Rinpoche (The Dalai Lama's senior Teacher and leader of Tibet until the Dalai Lama was 18) was there sitting in Maitreya Mudra on a table in a specific meditative pose. I asked through Tenzin our Translator the monks whether Ling Rinpoche was ever going to come back from his As the Tibetan Monks only spoke Tibetan.
They said he wasn't going to return to the land of the living. He had been like this I guess one year already meditating on this table.
I experienced while I was there Maitreya Heaven through the aura of Ling Rinpoche and I have never been the same ever since (in a very good way). I can say that from this experience I live both in Maitreya's heaven and on earth now 24 hours a day.
I cannot explain it in words but Maitreya's heaven came into my life permanently that day. And so I know I have become an emissary for both Jesus and Maitreya here on earth and my experience is that they are the same being.
By God's Grace
