Speaker: Rebecca Henry. Having recently lost her father, Rebecca shares poignant memories through poetry and verse on the profound love she and her dad shared. She immediately saw the many ways her father had been training her throughout her life to become a practitioner. Rebecca shares that his passing and what they shared in the final days was a most precious training that exemplified confidence, spontaneous presence, unpredictability and proving that living does not need to make sense.

A Glass of Water or a Well (Link #776)
Speaker: Dungse Jampal Norbu. Generally speaking, we tend to separate our spiritual practice from the rest of our life, especially when the demands of a busy life set in. Dungse-la encourages us to bring Dharma into our life holistically. He also discusses the disparate impact that negative thinking has on our minds compared to positive thinking. Oftentimes what becomes a habitual tendency begins without much thought, such as scrolling on our phones. Unraveling from this requires time, clarity and intention to improve our life, specifically our internal life. As we become free from neurotic emotions and ego-grasping, our life becomes free, and our ongoing circumstances improve because we are now moving in a positive direction. The trick is to keep moving. As practitioners, we are not seeking temporary experiences; we are seeking complete and total freedom.
