Om Mane Pem[e] Hung

Greetings to the Theosophical Society ESS.

I am Richard Page, a grateful recipient
of Theosophical teachings and blessings
since entering the Besant Lodge as a
 desperation seeker  some twenty-five years ago.
I am known to Avis Blum, ESS member from
Ohio and to James Black and Joe Miller
who are yet alive in my heart.

Last evening I was invited to dine
with Tulku Kalzang Rinpoche, Abbott
of Dzogchen Monastery in Eastern Tibet.
He wished to know all possible about
his uncle, lama Mora s first incarnation,
who he states was HPB s Tibetan
benefactor.  I volunteered to present my
 own meager knowledge and to bring
his request to you.  As the Chinese
have only allowed him two months for
travel here to seek medical treatment,
any reply to his enquiry would need
to reach him by his departure date,

to deliver any material you may wish
to send with me.  I suggested he make
the journey to Krotona from Aptos and
he may be able to do so.  His temporary
telephone number is 408/688-2535. Ask
for his translator, Anna [F]igme.

As Tulku Kalzang is currently re-
assembling the most learned senior
teachers in the Dzogchen tradition, any
inner teachings relating to Lama Mora
would return to good hands.

 From his account to me of the Tibetan
version of Lama Mora s transmission to
HPB, I understand that both Sanscrit and
Tibetan writings fell from the sky and
were also revealed in dreams.  A
Tibetan scholar, Gendro Zundap, deceased
now some 40 years, wrote of this and
of Tulku Kalzang s relationship to Lama
Mora.  It appears that Tulku Kalzang s
uncle, the third incarnation of Lama
Mora, was attempting to escape the
Chinese invasion in 1959.  Over thirty
of his family were killed in flight.  Only

Tulku Kalzang and his sister escaped.
Lama Mora is said to have ridden off
on a white horse or, alternately, to have
risen with his robes into the sky.
Neither Chinese bullets nor lassos
could prevent his disappearance.

Any consideration you might provide
to speed my research on behalf of
Tulku Kalzang would be deeply appreciated.

Yours in service,
