Mingyur Rinpoche, the millionaire monk who renounced it all

An article by Mary Finnigan in The Guardian, “Mingyur Rinpoche, the millionaire monk who renounced it all,” quotes Ngak’chang Rinpoche:

The British yogi-lama Ngakpa Chogyam, however, does not fear for Mingyur Rinpoche’s wellbeing:

“Religious mendicancy is understood in the Himalayan regions – but it is probably only viable for Tibetans and Indian sadhus. I imagine that Mingyur Rinpoche would be likely to find sponsors wherever he went. The main problem he might face would be people wanting to do too much for him – and he would probably have to spend some time escaping from generous benefactors.”
