The course has started and it is busy. I am leading the morning and afternoon meditations and have interviews with the students during the lunch break. Somehow I thought that would leave me lots of free of time for my own practice, but this is reality, ha ha! The course seems to be going well. Venerable Steve is a knowledgeable teacher with training in Tibetan monasteries but also with experience of teaching in the west. We are very fortunate to have such a qualified teacher. He also has a good sense of humour and I very much enjoy talking to him.
Unfortunately, I received very sad news yesterday that Alejandra Sarmiento from Guadalajra is in hospital very sick, paralyzed down one side, and her son, Osel is of course, terribly upset. I would request you to include them in your prayers and pujas. Thanks so much.
