Hello Friends,Wishing you a joyful June! I am on the plane heading towards Denver after the bodhicitta weekend program at Pema Osel and a joyful reunion with the Vermont Mangala Shri Bhuti (MSB) community. As you can see, the center is stunning and lovingly cared for. The day after tomorrow I head out to Alaska to do a program for the MSB Pacific Coast community. I have never been there this time of year. The last time I was in Anchorage there was only a short-lived hint of light. One of the only images I have of Anchorage is walking through a park during a gentle snowfall, and seeing a moose under a street lamp. It was a beautiful sight. This time our dear friend and host, Amalia, is planning on taking us on a boat to see glaciers. I look forward to some adventures and meeting the community in Alaska. I continue to feel honored to share and learn from the teachings on bodhicitta - truly a powerful practice for our times! Like the “bountiful cow and spontaneous harvest,” mentioned in the mandala offering, the three aspects of bodhicitta continuously yield liberating wisdom. They are, undoubtedly, the perfect expression of the Middle Way teachings. And they are utterly practical and accessible to us all! With much love, best wishes and affection,
Elizabeth
