Dear friends,
Here is a discussion from India on the issue of family and the Buddhist way of life. It is ably translated, light hearted, and worthy of the hour of viewing required. I would like all my students to watch it. Be patient. Listen carefully. I also share it with the public as a service to humanity. Have listen. Let me know your thoughts....

In this time of tremendous need we can learn much from others who are doing great work on behalf of strangers, family and friends.
From Lama Rangdrol

I was struck by the simple honesty and everyday examples. "Mind-maker" reminded me of Lama's "thought-virus." This brought me back to self-questioning rather than becoming resistant or reactive to that which brings valuable lessons. The lecture goes beyond in taking the mind of the listener into a much "looser" space. And also, it has global impact because of the places the message is traveling too. I am sitting at my desk on an island in the pacific, far away from India, yet joined in the commonality of what it takes to live dharma practice, and the everyday lessons that come up in work and in married life happening all over the world.
