I am *so* envious of Eden. What a wonderful experience.
Tried the 9 secs every 15 minutes during the two hours session of teachings about the King of the Tantras. Extract: 10h15: It rains. All nestled around him studying the Guhyasamaja Tantra, its four interwoven commentaries and annotations. Moved to tears as I realize how privileged I am sitting here with the Sangha in the cold wind, listening to such an ancient transmission.11h10: Hands so cold. On the screen, His Holiness does not seem to be cold but he must, the temple is open. So enthralled he is with his study. Someone just emitted a big loud sigh that made us smile and brought me back to awareness.
