Just joined and excited to engage from Ireland.

I just wanted to let you know that our annual Book Club starts next week. We're looking at Mingyur Rinpoche's amazing book In Love With The World, which, far from being a dry Buddhist text, is a bit of a page-turner. It starts with a midnight escape from a monastery and runs through a life-and-death experience in a park in Lumbini. In between, Rinpoche imparts beautiful truths about the experience of life. I'm so thrilled to be reading it with you guys. It's a free winter offering for all of the folks that support Mindsprings with their Oak or Baobab subscriptions and you can find out more about the reading schedule below: https://www.mind-springs.org/simple-info-pages/in-love-with-the-world

Could we have a coffee and cake gathering one Sunday and maybe see some of Daniel’s creations. Be lovely to see those faces and see new ones. Missing the community. 💐😊

I'm revisiting the Fives and can feel the benefit of ending on a 'beingfull' session (as discussed in a video) and have changed my personal practice to finish that way. Am wondering if there is any particular reason for starting the Fives with shamatha rather than 'object no 1', which I have been doing as a way to come into my personal experience of here-&-now? I'm guessing the answer would be that it doesn't matter too much, do what feels right for me and that just doing a practice is the thing - but I'm curious as to whether there is a rationale for starting with a shamata section. Perhaps it's more interesting to observe how my thinking mind always likes to use my meditation time to analyse the practice and design new, better ones!! Thanks X

Hello everyone :) Only just did join today from Denmark. Hoping that this wonderful side will help to get my life a little back in order again... And all the best to the people which are using this side too... that we may all find a little of what we are seeking and searching for...

Hi everyone, Thought some of you might be interested that there is a 3-hour online meditation "retreat" with Mingyur Rinpoche tomorrow (Sat 30 Nov, 15:00-18:00). Sharing the link here - https://events.tergar.org/events/detail/three-life-skills-Mzc2. Kindest, James

(I tried this once already but it didn't seem to publish, so sorry if this comes up twice!) Hi all 😊 I'm Nikky, from Wiltshire in the UK. I took part in one of Alistair's courses several years ago and it really helped with some specific fears I had at the time. Since then I've had a daughter (now four) who is wonderful but not fond of sleeping through the night! I've also been having some health issues that come with lots of anxious waits for results. As someone who suffers with health anxiety anyway, I need a bit of a hand again to calm the chatter and panic. Very much looking forward to joining you all for some sessions.

Looking forward to learning and sharing. Vicky x
