I miss my teacher tonight.
I miss his monastery in Vancouver, the quiet groundedness of the daily schedule. It’s where I took vows. I’m feeling nostalgic for the physical, a building, for the sweetness, the sangha. Big feels passing through. Goodnight!

Friends, imagine we could publish this letter in every media outlet everywhere? That it was recited by politicians, news anchors, teachers, podcasts? I wish it could go viral, globally. 🙏🏻

I wonder how a human being finds themselves in that chair in front of the watching world in a moment of such gravity, so completely bereft of empathy, so seemingly unencumbered by other people’s suffering, and so strident in the face of accountability...

No matter who's in the White House, California will always be a steady partner committed to shared democratic values, climate action, and economic cooperation.

Engaged Buddhism has many definitions…..
Meditate today, even for just five minutes.
And please remember how wise it is to feel rage and sadness at what is going on in the world. Those emotions are always appropriate, especially now. Make space for them when you sit.
Please take care of yourself and each other.

There are some books you keep close and revisit again and again. On my desk always, Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche’s volume, Essential Practice, is one of them. I love a Q&A format. Rinpoche was so young in this photo! 🙏🏻

A friend sent me a TikTok by Alex de Wal, Executive Director of WorldPeace Foundation (link in comments ⬇️) and it’s spot on. As institutions and norms burn down around us, I look to the macro. The TikTok clip is his in a nutshell’. This essay, also excellent.

My fantasy: the Walk For Peace monks and helpers are celebrated at the WH, our President welcoming them, news media sharing their stories of the walk, encounters, the lessons. A celebration of respect and gratitude. And then I remembered….it’s not like that anymore.

Seems to me the letting go is the central practice of low impact living. During a radical move, bring Arnica cream.

Watching BadBunny, I felt an honest-to-goodness shiver up my spine. I felt so proud for his protest and praise of America. It was art. An All-American moment. But there is always the other America, the FoxNews take. Also a shiver up my spine.

In recent days, false information has been circulating online, wrongly linking His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama to the Epstein files. To address these claims, Tibet Radio spoke with Lobsang Gyatso Sither, Tibet Action's Director of Technology.

Report from the Field. The ocean is over beyond the trees, and it brings in the fog. The branches of the trees all moving ever so slightly pulling the moisture into the forest. Cooler, too. Rain coming this week.

Bad Bunny wore a bullet-proof, vest under his tuxedo, at the Grammy Awards. Today, please visualize him being safe at his half-time performance. 🙏🏻 We all know this is about way more than entertainment. May there be peace today. ☮️

Report from the Field. One full week in our new cabin. Despite the upheaval, there is a sense of groundedness in this forest, and a deep stillness. Btw, the Ravens know we're here....
