Letter from the Editors
Ways We Connect
Dear Friends,
In this issue's teaching excerpt, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche addresses our 'addiction' to searching. And how the simple truth of our own natural perfection, just as it is, eludes us in our busy-ness of searching. One's distractions can be endless. So we continue to be grateful for all of the reminders – the teachings, teachers, the texts and practices – that can point the way back to ourselves, to our own self-discovery, our own realization of the luminous nature of mind and its qualities of love, joy, compassion and equanimity.
We are excited to share two interviews in this issue – one with Pat Leavitt, who is retiring as kitchen manager/chef at Serenity Ridge, and the second with Alejandro Chaoul-Reich, on expanding the Ligmincha community.
Ligmincha is very happy to share the new details about two online retreats with Rinpoche on Zoom in October: “Serenity Ridge Dialogues: Body, Breath and Mind” with several new presenters is October 9–11, and the online Fall Retreat on “The Five Elements” will be held October 23–25.
In addition, enjoy the article with brief excerpts on the five elements from Rinpoche's book Healing with Form, Energy and Light, along with some images we chose, in light of two upcoming elements retreats (the second sponsored by Ligmincha Learning). You can also find elements-related items in Ligmincha's online store.

In Bön,
