“There are frogs and toads in every pond here! It’s unbelievable. We’re gonna have so much koi food. Oh well, it’s the natural balance. You come to my house, I eat you.

But they don’t eat the tadpoles at all because they taste bitter to the koi.

Where ever we dig a hole here, life comes to fill it. This is a miraculous and marvelous place. A haven for so much life.”

— Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo Rinpoche
