Lovely music - made me think of our chanting sessions and yesterday’s session. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/V4YNBUXam7xzHUxy/?mibextid=WC7FNe

How lovely to see your home on TV! Living ‘up north’ I could only imagine where you lived. . It’s doubly amazing what you do with Zoom Alistair! Nice to see Daniel. I really enjoyed the chanting sessions and book club. 😊

Hi- I have booked for the 22 nd but nothing has arrived in my email box or in junk mail!

Some years ago I was in a group where we took it in turns to send distance healing at a certain time. All folk needed to do was send a name. Would anyone be interested if Alistair thought it was suitable? There was no need for zooms. Just thinking ‘ aloud’! I haven’t been able to join as our broadband has been very poor and I’m away for the next few weeks. Thanks ☺️

Navigating the comments seem to be challenging. There was a very interesting post today - talking about the language and meaning of the ego. I didn't catch the name of a contributor but it seems to have disappeared., When I click on the Loop photo I can't seem to enter the comments!

Can anyone tell me the name of the links mentioned in tonight's session for anxiety for children? Thanks

Hope you everyone is warm and safe. Hoping the internet will be back on tomorrow! From a very wild Cumbria!

Any healing vibes would be appreciated while I'm getting on with my knee op! The surgeon was curious when he heard Alistair's voice at the start of the session! I told him about the classes! Thank you 💐🤞🙏

Hi- can everyone acres the recordings from Thursday? I keep receiving the message can't display the link... any suggestions welcome🙏🙏

Is there a class tomorrow? I usually have a reminder, thanks 🙏

If you have the opportunity to see this film do go and see it. Filmed in Bhutan. So tender and beautiful.

Lost in Translation: Eat My Tongue The Tibetan Phrase “Che La Sa” A key point missing: In Tibetan culture, it is common to see old grandparents not only give a kiss to small children, but to also give a small candy or piece of food to children from their mouths – directly from mouth to mouth. This may not be the norm of your culture, but this is commonly done. After the Elder gives a kiss and a candy, since there is nothing left in their mouth, nothing left to give, they will say the phrase, “OK now eat my tongue,” (not suck, his Holiness misspoke due to his less than proficient English). The Tibetan phrase is, “Che la sa,” They say that as in, “I've given you all my love and the candy so that's it – all that's left to do is, “eat my tongue.” It is a playful thing that the children know. This is not really done in the Lhasa region the capital of Tibet as much, but it is more common in the Amdo region where the Dalai Lama is from. However it is definitely a Tibetan custom. If we are honest with ourselves, we know that when we form an opinion on any topic, without considering many aspects of the context, in any given situation, we are choosing to keep a significant degree of ignorance in our reasoning. 💎🌹 On Perception On the whole, we naturally tend to trust our everyday perceptions; we assume their validity without it even occurring to us to question them. We naïvely believe that the way we perceive things is identical with the way things are. And so, because events and things, including the self, appear to have objective reality, we conclude, tacitly and often without any reflection at all, that they do in fact have an objective reality. Only through the process of careful analysis can we see that this is not so, that our perceptions do not accurately reflect objective reality.

Mind over matter: can meditation soothe my troubled insides? It's a short little article how monks have a healthy gut.

An interesting Thought of the Day, linking Buddha and the music Dark side of the Moon from a Buddhist.

Hi, I couldn't make yesterdays session, was there a recording at all? Thanks

Hi- when I receive the email for booking there is no link on it for the zoom. A few weeks ago there was.

I couldn’t make the live session today. Does anyone know if it was recorded? Thanks Jane
