It is with deep sadness that I heard that Gene Smith passed away. Gene has been an unpretentious and altruistic man, a true scholar whose extraordinary work in favor of the Buddha Dharma and of Tibetan culture represents an invaluable gift to future generations. His generous effort in preserving one the world’s great literary heritages is worthy of the gratitude of all humankind.We are offering our heartfelt prayers that his activity for the benefit of all will continue to unfold without interruption.
