The Shambhala teachings are like the food we eat and the air we breath……I don’t agree though that life is richer with a partner….life is incredibly rich and that has no qualifier…….when someone asks me if I have fallen in love my answer:
“I am ALWAYS in love”….
with respect and gratitude –

Lovely interview. Also enjoying Rinpoches wisdom in Turning Your Mind Into An Ally. Thanks again for your insight into mindful communication! Just his peaceful aura reminds us of where we strive to be…
Thank you !!!!!
Profound, simple instructions on being human. Thank you Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche ❤️
Thank you for the reminder that communication is a reciprocal process–one that takes mindfulness, compassion and to a degree, genuine, (yet with loving kindness,) work or effort.
For whatever reason, i find forgetting about effort is where I need to take my practice in order be more present to myself and to others.
