Guetrul Jigme Rinpoche about Buryatia:
"Buryatia is a Power Place in the tradition of mystical lands that exist in different parts of a world.  Its a land, that has been blessed by the Warrior-King Gesar. My father Namkha Drimed Rinpoche had a vision of Buryatia being really the land, that is physically blessed by Gesar, so it’s connected to the World of Warriors. So, in this case it is very energetic; energetic, spiritual and powerful place to be. There, anyone who visits this land would suddenly feel spiritual power in them awakening, invoking the spirits of the land, Heaven and Earth.  So there is a place there you connect Heaven and Earth.
I appreciate mostly the energy of the land. There is so much in the silence of these mountains. Filled with so much spirit, filled with spiritual powers. It has a raw energy. That is so crucial for people who live in the city. And getting in touch with a rawness and elementary energy is very healing, very cleansing, very purifying for the people who live in the city. For me it was very memorable trip because, I also saw- on few occations- how the elements responding back to you. There is the sense of coming home in the Spiritual Warrior in me.
There is very special land, a little hilltop, which is really the local people, boundary people on the region believe to be the place where the Gesar descended, and is a very special place...So I wanted to dedicate a Gesar statue on that spot. And we’re now working with this very famous curator (sculptor). It will be not only a monumental of a spiritual significance, dedication and rememberings of King Gesar, but artistic contribution also. We hope that during this visit to installed and dedicate to the Buryatia. The Land needs it…  It happen that an Individual has wish to fund the entire Practice, entire group of monks to trawel and to do Practice especially in the Lineage of Gesar and Taksham. Me and my brother will be leading it, with the blessing of His Eminence Terchen Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche. And this time I would love to bring most senior monks of the monasteries".  interview>>
