On Monday evening, we'll have a chance to address any questions that may have come up from Andrew's talk. Then, we'll explore the practice of "ultimate generosity." Such a mind is the experience of enlightenment itself, but one that we can experience now in our day-to-day lives. Please join in!

All are welcome to come at 6:15 for tea and conversation

Here is the recording of last week's teaching.

Upcoming learning opportunity - Befriending Your Beautiful

Monsters: A Guide to Emotional Well-Being  with Tsoknyi Rinpoche. February 7th - Here

A decrease in emotion is the sign of genuine meditation.

A flexible mind, open-hearted toward all beings, is the sign of a real practitioner.

A serene mind is the sign of genuine realization.

Mind is the source of the Dharma.

If you tame your mind, you are a practitioner.

If you are a real practitioner, your mind is tamed.

When your mind is tamed, this is liberation.

HH Dudjom Rinpoche

Contemplation of the Week - Appreciative Living

This week, as soon as you wake up in the morning, take just a minute or two to bring to mind what you appreciate about your life. Bring to mind a few of the many wonderful things in your life that support you, enrich you, and delight you. It could be as simple as appreciating that you have another day. You could appreciate your soft bed, your cozy home, your family, friends, and teachers. Appreciation lights up our lives and is a constant reminder of how extraordinarily fortunate we are to have been born.
