Page 38 - Taliesin's Rainbow

Modern Day Bodhisattva

Before Taliesin got on the train on May 26, 2017, at 4:00
PM, he called me. “Hello, my darling dear,” I answered
him. “Mom do you got a minute?”, he asked. Taliesin
and I had been speaking several times a day, because
he had just purchased a house in Portland, that I co-
signed; and, we were in the mix of doing up-grades on
the house. I’m about to meet his Holiness Getze Rin-
poche, who is doing a blessing for the children of Ash-
land. I’m a little bit late; can I call you after I get out?”
I asked him. “Sure mom.” He answered. That was the
last time I spoke with Taliesin.

As I entered the temple, it felt as though a hundred
people were meditating. Getze Rinpoche was obvi-
ously a Holy man. The teachings he gave the children,
were about unity, humility, kindness and selflessness.

At that same moment, Taliesin was traveling on the
train, realizing he could no longer sit and listen to
this angry man rant at the two teenage girls. He ap-
proached Jeremy Christian peacefully. At that moment
he was exemplifying the teachings Getze Rinpoche
was giving. It is very auspicious these events were hap-
pening simultaneously, the blessing of the children of
Ashland and Taliesin’s selfless act. As a child of Ash-
land, I’m sure Taliesin was inspired by the prayers in
the temple that day.
