Other people were intimidated by Samten Gyatso’s meticulousness and, afraid of not living up to his standards, often felt unqualified to participate in rituals in his presence. You couldn’t make a single mistake on a torma or leave out a single detail in a mandala arrangement on the shrine, because you somehow knew that he would not only detect it but find it unacceptable. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone more thorough—he was a true perfectionist! Novice lamas didn’t dare put on airs when he presided over a ceremony.
Samten Gyatso was so learned and skilled, so trustworthy and matchless, that people compared him to Marpa, the master translator who brought the Kagyu teachings from India.
Yet my guru never postured nor put on the air of high realization, like those meditators who never lower their vacant, glaring gaze to the ground and who spout random “profound” statements such as “Everything in samsara and nirvana are equal!” What do you gain from such pretense?
Samten Gyatso would move about as if he were just an ordinary person. He kept to the hidden yogi style: he didn’t flaunt his accomplishments and never behaved as if he were a grand lama. He would not bless people by placing his hand on their heads nor sit on a high seat. He didn’t even let people bow to him—if anyone tried, he would jump up and move away. He avoided ostentatious displays like erecting impressive temples or commissioning fancy statues. He kept a low profile: he never dressed up or wore brocade, but just the robes of an ordinary monk.
