Mahamudra, CBO (Chief Barking Officer) and Official Greeter
Mahamudra, has been with Margaret in this incarnation since 1997 where she found him at eight weeks old at Vajrapani, a Tibetan Buddhist temple, near Santa Cruz in California. This Golden Retreiver-Samoyed puppy had been found alone on the dirt road near the temple earlier that day. Lama Zopa conducting the Buddhist teaching there named him "Chagcha Chenpo" in Tibetan or "Mahamudra" in Sanskrit which means "Great Enlightenment". As a result, Margi can call Mahamudra to her every day!
