The Wonder of It All

sky colorfulDear Friends,

The wonder and mystery of life can be experienced in the simplest of things: the sky, the sound of the wind in the trees, a pet's devotion, the loving relationship of father and son. Or it may arise while listening to Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche’s latest webcasts highlighting dzogchen pith instructions. We hope you enjoy Rinpoche’s illuminating description of the beautiful gifts of being in the magic of the moment in this issue’s teaching excerpt, “The Magic of a Life Lived in the Spacious Freedom and Fullness of Being.” We also have a treat for you near the end of the issue that includes some gorgeous photography by Salvador Espinosa. Enjoy! All so wonder-full, and also ordinary—just Like Rinpoche on TWR LIVE.

Those of you who are wondering about the new building at Serenity Ridge, it's almost complete and has a fitting name: Namgyal Khang (Victory House)! Read an update from Rob Patzig, learn about the meaning of the name and see some of the latest photos. Our thanks to all those working so hard to make it really wonderful!

Spontaneous Creativity coverWe just heard this good news: Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's new book, Spontaneous Creativity – Meditations for Manifesting Your Positive Qualities – will be coming out July 17. Congratulations, Rinpoche! We can't wait to read it.
