Over the past seven days, we had the profound privilege of entering deeply into the Lam Rim, the stages of the path to enlightenment, under the steady and compassionate guidance of our precious teacher Kushok Lobsang Dhamchöe.
For many long hours each day, Kushok taught tirelessly. With patience, clarity, and unwavering dedication, he guided us step by step through these vast and precious teachings. Kushok offered the path in a way that was both profound and accessible. His generosity of time, energy, and wisdom is something we are deeply grateful to have. To receive teachings in this way is truly rare and deeply meaningful.
We express our sincere appreciation to everyone who took the time to deepen their practice and attend this retreat. Your deep effort to show up, to listen deeply, to contemplate, and to meditate are truly remarkable and we feel very blessed to have the opportunity to embark on this retreat with you all as a Sangha.
A very special and heartfelt thank you to Geshe La, Dyna So and Chi for preparing and offering such nourishing and beautiful lunches each day. To be cared for in this way while engaging in intensive study is a profound support. And to all who sponsored the meals, we are deeply grateful. Your generosity sustained not only our bodies, but the conditions that allow the Dharma to continue flourishing in our community.
May the seeds planted through listening, contemplation, and meditation continue to grow within each of us. May whatever insight arose become the cause for greater compassion, clarity, and benefit for others.
With deep gratitude to our teacher, to our community, and to all who made this retreat possible. May the merit extend to all beings. 🙏🏻♥️
We look forward to having more retreats like this in the near future 📿
