Qapel Through his Students' Eyes | 'Stories About My Precious Teacher'

It’s been six months since Qapel‘s passing, and we wanted to mark the occasion by sharing some stories from his students about how they experienced him and the impact he had on their lives.

In the days immediately after his death, Qapel’s students recorded stories about their most powerful, transformative times with their teacher. 

Today’s episode includes just a selection from those recordings. Some of the stories are about how they met Qapel, some are about teachings they were given that had a profound impact, and some are remembrances of fun, silly, or touching times that provide a sense of the remarkably dynamic, skillful, and compassionate human that we call our root teacher.
