The program in &#8220;When it rains&#8230;&#8221; seems to be too extensive, this program too extensive, one paragraph too much. Perhaps a one year-retreat could help a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to work with this program &#8220;as good as possible&#8221;. But\u00c2\u00a0I learned to see, where I have my priorities. Very often I thought:First I have to complete this or that, then I can work with TSK&#8230;.. I felt very bad, when I did not work on TSK. I knew,\u00c2\u00a0I&#8217;m missing something very important for me. But I see very clear, when I look at the last months: TSK did not hold the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Its helpful for me, to have a binding program. But this online-working in an unfamiliar language is difficult for me. To work with posts and some responses gives good suggestions &#8211; but I miss a TSK-Community. The people in Germany, who work with TSK, are scattered (?), there are a few, who worked with Hall, a few worked with you, Jack. And they don&#8217;t come together. (I know, Dieter Dolata wanted to work with TSK, I will ask him.) And what about, Arthur, when we stay in contact? The Institute in K\u00c3\u00b6ln (Colonia) is very ascetic with TSK. &#8211; Perhaps there are possibilities in Holland, when they have an international workshop (with english language).<\/p>\n<p>(On the side I want to say about pictures with light: I remembered at once REMBRANDT van RIJN (Holland)\u00c2\u00a0and and CASPAR DAVID FRIEDRICH (Germany), and naturally, many pictures from Tibetian Buddhism.)<\/p>\n<p>About my progress with TSK, I&#8217;m sometimes very disappointed. On the other side, when I look back, many years, there now is more understanding, insight, like heering the voices of a chorus which the wind sometimes is bringing to me: I remember a situation: I was climbing a hill in a fresh bright morning sunshine and from the valley sometimes with the breath of wind I heard a lovely sound of a chorus.<\/p>\n<p>With thanks and good wishes to all, I say goodbye.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Peter (Ludwig):<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;ah AH SHA SA MA HA&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, I want to say &#8220;thank you&#8221;, to all in this TSK-Group, to you, Jack, and to Tarthang Tulku Rimpoche.
