Each morning began with a walking meditation through the garden overlooking the\u00a0banks of the Hudson, setting the tone for a day of Rinpoche\u2019s teachings bracketed by silent and guided meditations. The curriculum\u00a0began with\u00a0the tools necessary to develop a consistent daily practice, moved through techniques\u00a0to create positive mental energy\u00a0and\u00a0let go of the attachments that cause suffering, and provided tools to help retreatants develop\u00a0their\u00a0innate compassion through teachings and meditations.\u00a0At each day\u2019s end, retreatants gathered in small groups to discuss their learnings, their questions, their feelings and perceptions.<\/p>\n

\"Rinpoche,<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The experience was summed up by the formal thanks offered to Rinpoche on our final day:<\/p>\n

Rinpoche, thank you for these teachings…<\/em><\/p>\n

You have given us a precious gift… You have taught us how to practice like a physician.<\/em><\/p>\n

By being mindful and aware, we are now better able to take our own temperature and pulse\u2014and to make the adjustments needed for the path…<\/em><\/p>\n

You have told us, <\/em>You need balance in practice.<\/em><\/p>\n

That there is more to being a physician than just helping ourselves…<\/em><\/p>\n

That we need to be able to read the heartbeat of others… to\u00a0do whatever we can to be helpful, caring\u2014 and to release suffering…<\/em><\/p>\n

As our spiritual friend you encourage possibilities without limitations…<\/em><\/p>\n

Even though we are in the \u00ablong dream\u00bb – you teach us that we should not give into fear or doubt…<\/em><\/p>\n

But instead… Practice… Stabilize… and Investigate….<\/em><\/p>\n

You teach us that stability through meditation can change the course of our lives and those around us…<\/em><\/p>\n

And that by nurturing wisdom and compassion, we can overcome anything and everything\u2014from the beginning of our journey to the end…<\/em><\/p>\n

Please accept our gratitude and deepest thank you\u00a0for sharing your kindness.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
