| Dear Subscriber, With both the Dalai Lama and the Karmapa present at the Kalachakra teachings in Washington DC, accompanied by numerous other lamas, and many significant teachings being given throughout the world, these last few months have been an auspicious time. Spiritually, it is a season of great hope. We are also mindful of world situations that have caused strife or left many people homeless or suffering in so many ways. Our prayers reach out to them.

It is at times like these that supporting and strengthening our spiritual practice is so important. When we are firm in our practice, we become like a beacon of light to those who need help.
