Heartfelt thanks to Gen Tonglam for guiding the post Summer Festival retreat on Advice from Atisha’s Heart.

Gen Tonglam used Atisha’s words, 'How wonderful!' to begin the retreat. He explained that this joyful mind is the essence of the Kadampa way of life and reminded us that Buddha, our Spiritual Guide, our Teachers, and our sanghas are all our unchanging friends who give us personal advice that we can follow and practice on the spiritual path until we attain enlightenment.

How fortunate we are! May everyone enjoy exactly the same good fortune as we have.
