I spent 10 days with over 300 people from over 40 countries studying the text and commentaries on Parting from the Four Attachments at the International Buddhist Academy.  The retreat morning teachings were with Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche and then the afternoon Calm Abiding Meditation sessions were led by Lama Chodak Rinpoche.

The experience was beyond amazing.  I am learning a little bit more every day about what it means to have faith.  After taking refuge with Khenpo Jorden in Chicago, that was one thing that I have yet to fully grasp.  I am feeling a little bit closer to understanding faith each day.

Go enlightenment.
