"We experienced so much magic and inner peace this weekend through the power of being immersed in the three precious jewels. Through Gen Kelsang Choma’s and Gen Kelsang Rigpa’s profound teachings and encouraging guidance, we gently contemplated the true nature of ourselves, dissolving into a joyful, space-like emptiness the ordinary and stuck versions of ourself that we assume to exist inherently and permanently. While massive blessings of all the lineage gurus poured down into us within the sublime mandala, we playfully searched for the existence of a “self we normally see” — that painful identity we assent to and imprison ourselves in — and used a set of magical keys kindly given to us by Buddha to help us unlock the true and pure nature of who we are. These tools included the four points, the eight extremes, the perspective that we are like a rainbow of causes and conditions, the view of the transitory collection, and a powerful verse of wisdom from Buddha Shakyamuni in the King of Concentration Sutras."

"We enjoyed a space of wonder and possibility in our hearts and connected to the qualities of our mind we aspire to one day embody more completely: humility, generosity, contentment, peace, joy, compassion, acceptance, love. How fortunate are we to create this powerful karma together in such an auspicious place!
