"Trinley Rinpoche came to visit Geshela about a month before his death (which was a bit peculiar because Geshela usually visited him in Seattle.
After our puja we had tea and I asked Rinpoche one of my favourite questions:
"If samsara and nirvana and inseperable, why do we need protectors?"
Trinley Rinpoche replied "Because this IS samsara"
Trinley Rinpoche and Geshela just about fell over, they were laughing so hard.
It doesn't look quite so funny written down, but it was a quitessentially hilarious moment, which causes me to crack up to this day."
