The Passing of
Lady Diana Mukpo
I met her in 1970 when she and Trungpa and entourage visited Tassajara. She was quiet and sweet at the time. - dc
Here's a snippet with her on that visit. From the 2nd Tassajara Stories book to be published next year.
Stan was in charge of guests. The night of Trungpa’s talk, Suzuki asked Stan to come to his room. When Stan did so, Suzuki handed him a box of powdered incense to give to Trungpa and Diana. Diana answered the door and invited Stan in. Trungpa was in back, so Stan presented the incense to Diana, bowing his head respectfully. Diana did the same and they bumped heads which caused Stan to drop the box spilling the powdered incense on the floor. Trungpa came up and saw the two of them on the floor getting the incense back in the box. Stan looked up and said, “This powdered incense is a gift from Suzuki Roshi.”
Trungpa said, “Would you like to have a drink?”
