The gaze! It has everything from compassion to subjugating, all for peace!

So much joy by looking at these photos, thanks for sharing Shona! Divine PUZZLE!

When I heard "to go to the edge and then drop it" in Khandro-la's teaching, I was amazed by the whole idea, and I said "wow". Thanks for bringing this up Ellen💖. Whatever seemingly unfavoring conditions arise during the Retreat, that are pushing me to the edge. And when that happens, that's my chance to drop the afflictive perception of Louise. It's a long way to perfect this art, but being the little blue pea in a pod inside of Troma Nakmo's tummy is always my solace.

"Resting" in "Overwhelmedness", sounds like 2 conditions that do not go together at the same time. But somehow it seems like possible. Or maybe even simple when you see all these as the same energy (as on a dimmer switch). Please keep us posted, a very interesting thing.

Love it so much! Thanks for sharing!!!

The Four Noble Truth is something I recently keep coming back to. It seems like this very basic, fundamental, and rudimentary-step-one teaching of the Buddha is truly all pervasive, no matter how advanced-level the activity is categorized.

Loving it! This really helps to visualize the Father-Mother union, powerful!

Grief Dakini, in sorrow she releases and let-go (with a pink sky background), all for the Great Love.

WOW Wow wow😍

Great idea Ellen! I am going to add this to my practice, recite them everyday.
