The Norbertine community at Santa Maria de la Vid Priory in Albuquerque's South Valley was recently honored with the visit of two Tibetan Buddhist monks from India. The visitors were Tenzin (whose name means teacher), a professor of Buddhist philosophy, and Rinpoche (a title of honor), who is a significant person in the leadership in the monastery.  He is said to be the reincarnation of a significant figure.
