"The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper."
W. B. Yeats

Sunday June 14

This Sunday is a great community convergence - celebrating our monthly Sangha Sunday, our new-moon Sadhana of Mahamudra practice, and the magical seasonal moment of Midsummer's Day.

The combination is a festival of the ancestral, social, human and natural richness of this time of year.

With a rare combination of clarity, humor, and intensity, Rinpoche doesn't deliver a fixed lecture — he brings the dharma to life as a direct response to what's alive in the room.
