Spring Is in the Air

Dear Friends,

We are so happy that spring is coming and that along with warmer, brighter days, there is new hope for getting together with loved ones and sangha before too long. Meanwhile, Ligmincha is overflowing with ways to grow and connect through online classes, retreats, workshops, worldwide full moon practices, Facebook Live webcasts and more. Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's Annual Spring Retreat is right around the corner–see all the details below.

Spring is also a time of change, a time of growth and transition. This teaching excerpt, from a retreat in Fall 2018 that Rinpoche gave at Serenity Ridge, is on “Navigating Life's Transitions by the Light of Awareness.” Enjoy!    

Lots more to share in this issue: Rinpoche's worldwide schedule, an interview by Ton Bisscheroux with Oliver Wirtz and Florian Bruckmann, upcoming Cybersangha events, a call for volunteers, a new recipe by Pat Leavitt, online retreats through Ligmincha Learning and GlideWing, a listing of online retreats hosted by Ligmincha Finland and other sanghas, new offerings by The Three Doors, and lastly, the Spanish translation of the February VOCL.

May the gentle winds of spring lift everyone's spirits and also carry away the discomforts and fears of the last year. Happy spring, everyone!

In Bön
Aline and Jeff Fisher
