Kunsangar North, Russia. April–May 2025
Dear friends, warm greetings from Kunsangar North!
The entire spring in the Gar was marked by preparation for the Teaching of Namkhai Yeshi. It was not just organizing a broadcast, but a real internal tuning. We lived it with all our space: through retreats, practice, silence and the Vajra Dance.
First there were retreats with Alexander Gomonov. The retreat on Lhagthong, classes on the Dance of the Song of the Vajra — all this gathered attention, purified and helped to truly settle everyone. The dance took place daily, and the mandala became a place where the body learned to be present.
The culmination was a week of retreat on the topic “Circle of the Day and Night” in which 50 practitioners participated. From early morning until late at night, we learned to be in the flow of awareness: Guruyoga, contemplation, falling asleep in presence. The teachings of Rinpoche and Yeshi came to life in the breath, the look, the dream, and all this became a living connection with the Teaching, which Namkhai Yeshi soon transmitted.
And a few days after the Teaching, during the morning practice of the Dance, a halo appeared above the Gar. The light circle in the sky became not only a beautiful natural phenomenon, but also a sign, a quiet reminder: the Teaching was here, it happened and it continues – if we do not lose the taste, do not forget the presence.
The grass under the stupa is smooth, the paths are neatly trimmed. The space is alive; it has become even clearer and brighter.
Thank you to everyone who was with us this spring: online, in person, in the body or just in the same tune.
With love, Kunsangar North
