Usually the summer season at Kunsangar South begins in May, when the warm weather comes, the first flowers start to bloom and the wonderful time of retreats begins.
This summer a large number of young karmayogis worked on renewing the decorations of the outer ring ceiling inside the Merigar Gönpa.
On April 30th, we had the first public event of this kind in the Gönpa of Dzamling Gar, the first of hopefully many to come. It was a collaboration of Atiyoga Foundation, Dzamling Gar, Iskcon and local Yoga instructors in an important event for our Community to welcome everyone into our home! It was a beautiful afternoon and a great success.

It’s not a formal garden with a unity that combines all its parts into one but there are a variety of different spaces so it’s quite nice and very varied.
Yantra Yoga instructor Dina Priymak shares her experience of participating in the ‘Breathe the Earth’ project, teaching Kumar Kumari, Yantra Yoga for children, at the schools of the Amiata Area.
It was the first time for us to operate this type of retreat, so it was a bit of trial and error, but everyone’s shining faces and the improvement in dancing made me feel deep joy and very satisfied. I would like to thank Anna Apraksina, the other Vajra Dance instructor, the participants, the Gakyil, all those who helped and especially to our Master. I am so grateful to all of them.
Then I started to discover playing music. The plays I did were always closely related to music, in fact we did an Rock Opera with friends and great musicians in 1983. But I was always on the other side, directing, staging, or writing. When I turned fifty, my friend Marisa gave me an acoustic guitar and from that moment on I began to study guitar, then sax, then piano and finally the bandoneon [ed. a type of concertino].
At the door, is a pile of stuff. I am looking at it with the eye of measurement. Why? The pile looks paltry. True, it is colorful, a mound of sweaters, and not just any ones, these are all cashmere, some made in Scotland, the very best quality. At the same time, they are not the best because they are second hand, culled from charity shops and thrifting.
I think my exposure to Buddhism happened when I was about sixteen and still in High School. I had a friend who knew some other people and one of those people happened to be an owner of a bookstore. We were able to go there, and most if his books were on Buddhism.
Vajrasattva Purification from the Longsal Cycle Practice Retreat December 9-13, 2021 at Dzamling Gar: This retreat is finished. I want to thank the Gakyil of Dzamling Gar for inviting me and for making this opportunity possible. I also want to thank everybody who collaborated for this retreat.
