Dear Friends,
We are so fortunate to have a teacher who shares the ancient wisdoms and truths from the Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition in way that applies directly to us and our real-world, modern-day experiences. In this issue’s teaching excerpt, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche brings to life the essence of the teaching on Mirror-like Wisdom and asks us to explore our ability to rest as this unbiased wisdom awareness that hosts all experience perfectly without grasping, just as a mirror effortlessly hosts any and all reflections that appear there. Enjoy.
Please see the new details and registration for Ligmincha’s annual summer retreat beginning in June with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. Due to travel restrictions, His Holiness, the 34th Menri Trizin Rinpoche, will not be able to be at Serenity Ridge but will instead be giving two special teachings from Menri Monastery in India. There are several ways you can attend the retreat including a new weekend option.
