From the Golden Temple to mountain mediation

Dear all,

After two nights in the dorms at the Golden Temple, lots of communal food, and a regimen of vegetable cutting, chapati rolling, and dish washing, we have returned to the mountains to start our 10 day Buddhist meditation retreat. We arrived in Dharamsala this afternoon, and will head to the Tushita retreat center by mid-day tomorrow (November 5th). As the retreat strives to maintain an environment of self-reflection, we will not be using any electronics or communication devices, except for emergencies. As such, we will be out of contact until the evening of November 14th.

I hope that everyone at home will also take a few moments to reflect with us, as we enter into our retreat, on where they have come from and where they are going.

Tashi Delek!
