The weekend was spent at Tibet House with Anam Thubten Rinpoche. We meditated, recited the Heart Sutra, chanted, and listened to him talk about emptiness (shunyata). Rinpoche is a funny guy (actually, I think he is a big geek, since he managed to mention both Star Wars and Lord of the Rings in his teachings). On the second day of the retreat I got smart and brought my own zafu (cushion). I love Tibet House, but their cushions are amazingly uncomfortable. At the end of the retreat some of us also gave refuge vows. All in all, it was a great weekend.
I don't like Mondays.
PS: Lama's socks matched his robes. I thought it was funny and cute.
