One Hundred Thousand Rays of Sun

The early morning sun poured through the window of the small room where I was born. It was the tenth day of the first month of the Tibetan lunar calendar in 1936. The lamas were performing ceremonial offeings in the monastery, as is the custom on the tenth day of each lunar month. My birth was uneventful, except that I was born wrapped in a pocket of membrane - the amniotic sac. My mother remarked with shock that I looked "like a bubble." Indeed, both my mother and my aunts were afraid to touch me, as I did not look like a human being!

They called for an old village woman. "If something is born like this," she told them, "and if it's a boy, then this is good. It needs to be opened up." So the old woman opened up this "bubble" and there I was. However, when I was released from the membrane, the umbilical cord was wrapped around me like a meditation belt, and I was crying. The old woman advised, "If your son is born with the cord like this, it is a very auspicious sign. Because he doesn't really have a father, you should take special care of him."
