Greetings!

 

Tonight we have a special treat. Greg Bender is passing through town and will be here for our meeting. Greg is one of my oldest dharma friends, and he led the Joy, Grace & Awareness Retreat for us a couple of years ago. He's not here yet, so I'm not sure if he'll be giving a special talk or if he'll join in with our journey through the Four Immeasurables with Ken McLeod. Either way, it will be great to have Greg's energy joining with ours.

This Friday we'll also discuss who to invite as our teacher for the fall retreat, as well as setting the date for next year. I've heard from Ken McLeod, who is not able to commit for this year or next. We'll also discuss the July schedule.

Join us for meditation, teachings, and discussion, all in one night. Hope to see you!

Quote of the Week


All the Buddhist teachings are explained in terms of Ground, Path, and Fruition. The ground of Dzogchen is the fundamental, primordial state, our absolute nature, which is already perfect and always present.

Patrul Rinpoche says: "It is neither to be sought externally, nor is it something you did not have before and that now has to be newly born in your mind." So from the point of view of the Ground-the absolute-our nature is the same as the buddhas', and there is no question at this level, "not a hair's breadth," the masters say, of teaching or practice to do.

--Sogyal Rinpoche, Glimpse After Glimpse
