Beautiful Words

I remember living at Gampo Abbey when Pema Chodron showed up. As she arrived an intense double rainbow appeared. A nun, a friend of mine, said “I don’t like the woman but this happens every time.” I knew my friend had a bit of conflict with Pema Chodron. So that made me laugh, but also I was just in awe. The double rainbow happens every time she shows up?! Then we entered into Yarne, an intensive 7 week meditation retreat mostly in silence. Anyway, some words from one of my teachers. May peace prevail on earth. May the stupidity of governments working toward war and causing harm just stop, now!
