SUMMARY:Teachings of Akong Rinpoche - Restoring the Balance: 7. Coordination and Harmony of Body\, Speech and Mind
DESCRIPTION:The priceless teachings of our Founder\, Akong Rinpoche\, are accessible to all. His wisdom and advice are given in Chapter 7 of Restoring the Balance\, on the topic of Coordination and Harmony of Body\, Speech and Mind. Rinpoche’s words cut through the mindless\, dehumanising effects of unfettered tech and AI and allow us the breathing space to mindfully looking within\, for our natural intelligence to blossom with joy and equilibrium. \nYou are welcome to join us for the ongoing sessions based on Rinpoche’s teachings and presented by Ani Rinchen Khandro. \nPrayer and Meditation sessions are offered free of charge. However\, all donations are much appreciated and go towards the upkeep of the Centre. Any such offerings enable Samye Dzong to serve the community and provide the opportunity to cultivate generosity.
