When ilg hears the word ‘winter solstice,’ i’ve trained myself to hear instead another WF Word Choice Guru;
‘Win Our Souls (to) Us.”
‘Win Our Souls (to) Us.”
Soygal Rinpoche teaches:
“To learn how to die is to learn how to live; to learn how to live is to learn how to act not only in this life but in the lives to come. To transform yourself truly and learn how to be reborn as a transformed being to help others is really to help the world in the most powerful way of all.”
“Let us dare to imagine now what it would be like to live in a world where a significant number of people took the opportunity, offered by the teachings, to devote part of their lives to serious spiritual practice, to recognize the nature of their minds, and so to use the opportunity of their deaths to move closer to buddhahood, and to be reborn with one aim, that of serving and benefiting others.”

yesterday, i dropped Amma off at a local forest road, so she could crank off some much needed solo nordic skiing amongst the beautiful snow-covered alpine woods…
meanwhile, Dewa and i hit up a local sledding hill, and my own little Rinpoche was all over it…
not content to ski and sled on the ‘baby hill,’ Dewa eyes the Big Boy and Girl Hill (photo #2) and soon enough, her and i were blasting down and screaming with laughter among the big kids…in fact, the whole goal of my spiritual life rode within me upon that plastic sled with my daughter clenched between my thighs…
May All Beings Remain Big Kids and
May We Recognize each precious Solstice
as time to honor and express Gratitude for
each Being’s Soul To Win Enlightenment…
Winter Solstice…
Win Our Souls (to) Us…
