This year’s Dance Dance Dance took place, as it does every year these years, from late August to mid-September at the Mandala Hall at Khandroling. It was an intensive two-week course covering all the Vajra Dances—including 3 Vajra, Dance for All Sentient Beings, 12 A, and Khalong Dorjekha—and, true to its name, it was two weeks of non-stop dancing; well, actually, we also enjoyed BBQ, etc.,.

Adriano opened his talk by weaving a rich historical narrative around the transmission of Yantra Yoga.
I arrived near Point Arena at Redwood’s OZ retreat site a day after the retreat had begun. In the upstairs kitchen I asked beautiful See-Joy: “Where is the Tibetan master?” She replied: “He is sitting down there at the picnic table.” I looked but couldn’t see a master because everybody was wearing ordinary clothes. About an hour later, Rinpoche sat down under a large tree surrounded by interested students. I had no expectations. He smiled & spoke. My experience: Primordial Buddha transmits primordial Dzogchen to us fortunate practitioners in this particular time & place.
