Guru Rinpoche Day Message, September 24, 2023
"The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to renounce this life’s concerns, 
For friends and relatives, long acquainted, must all go their separate ways;
Wealth and prized possessions, painstakingly acquired, must all be left
behind; And consciousness, the guest who lodges in the body, must in time
depart."

Excerpt from the 37 Practices of Bodhisattvas

"While I am away, I urge you to study and practice the Dharma diligently. I would also like to recommend that you make an effort to get together and discuss the teachings and do the practices that I have shown you:
Ngondro
Guru Yoga tsok
Shakyamuni Buddha
Chenrezig
Phowa
I would like you to alternate the practices. This will help you to build our Dharma community and support each other's practices so you can grow together as Dharma brothers and sisters."  – Sogan Rinpoche, 11/3/13, Oakland, CA
