In this 3-part special series of 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭, Gyalwa Dokhampa sits down with 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐞, Chairman of the Drukpa Hong Kong — a distinguished businessman, philanthropist, and Justice of the Peace known for bridging inner wisdom with worldly leadership.

In 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝟒𝟕, the two look back on their life journeys — not through the lens of success or recognition, but through 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 that transformed how they saw themselves and the world.

🌿 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 were not marked by achievements, but by the challenges that questioned their values, tested their courage, and ultimately deepened their understanding of what it means to grow.

May their reflections remind us to honor our own turning points — not only the joyful ones, but also the moments that stretch and shape our hearts.
