Comment from Soudabeh(that went astray)

Dear Michael:

Thank you for your sharing. I am currently in a situation that if it was a
couple of years ago, I would be very scared… and big time stressed out…,
but due to the practices and the teachings that are coming to me via the
Dharma teachings of Nyingma Institude, and TSK vision, I am noticing that
I am more trusting of the unfoldings and more accepting of the arisings…
with an attitude of: “what is my highest aspiration? How can I achieve
that in this circumstance and going forward?” And at other times a saying
of a great sage, Long Chen Pa, helps me big time: “Since everything is but
an apparition, perfect in being what it is, having nothing to do with good
or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst in laughing…”
These sort of thoughts are more and more with me now than before…aiding me to
trust in goodness and fear subsides, and I can find my intuitive ways of
helping my predicament…

Regards,
Soudabeh

About Michael Gray

I first started studying TSK in the mid 1980's and have since attended a number of retreats and workshops at the Nyingma Institute, in both TSK and Buddhist themes. I participated in the life-changing Human Development Training Program in 1991, and upon returning to Albuquerque co-founded an organization, Friends in Time (with a friend who has Lou Gehrig's Disease), which continues to serve people with similiar disabilities. I contributed an essay to "A New Way of Being"--the last one in the book--in which I describe how learning to honor who I have been has broadened and deepened my openness to present experience. I live in New Mexico with my wife and two sons.
