Ani Palchen: Dancing on Paper
A number of years ago, a KPC student was chatting with Ani Palchen about ways to promote “Adopt-an-Acre.” That was a campaign, now completed, for securing the land on which the Maryland stupas are situated.
Ani Palchen thought a moment, then just tossed off the cartoon below. (On scrap paper!) If you remember the work of cartoonist Jules Pfeiffer, you will recognize Palchen’s cartoon as an homage! Of course, before taking robes, she was a dancer–perhaps in the mold of Pfeiffer’s figure, as imitated below.

Ani Palchen will be greatly missed by all of us who knew and loved her. She was a practitioner of the highest quality and devoted to KPC and its Sangha. She takes much good karma into her next incarnation and will continue to practice the Dharma for the benefit of all around her. Thank you Palchen for your beauty and presense. You have enriched us all.
