I only caught a bit of it live, but what I heard sounded quite interesting so I'm looking forward to listening to the whole thing.

I've been listening to it and I wanted to point out the interesting story, which I think is most likely about Adzom Paylo Rinpoche, that she tells at around 13:51.

oh my, thanks for posting this. I was at Tara Mandala in 2005 when Adzom Rinpoche came for a teaching. I went to volunteer in the kitchen and also spent time with the teachings At that time, I was a zennie exploring the possibility of working (job) at Tara Mandala. Adzom Rinpoche was several days late bec he had delays getting out of Tibet. As you see, there was a large tent on the mountain. I was at the farthest point away from Rinpoche, no matter. The energetic from his eyes knew no boundary. I'll never forget it. I actually had no idea who he was until that moment.

Lindama, would you mind shedding some light on what it might be like to work/volunteer at Tara Mandala? Such a step has been on the periphery of my mind for a while now, as Chöd is one of my main Dharma interests/practices, however I'm otherwise not really involved in the lineages being propagated there (at least as I understand them). Perhaps it would be better to carry this conversation over into PM? I'm already going a bit off-topic here, lol.

"The Sutras, Tantras, and Philosophical Scriptures are great in number. However life is short, and intelligence is limited, so it's hard to cover them completely. You may know a lot, but if you don't put it into practice, it's like dying of thirst on the shore of a great lake. Likewise, a common corpse is found in the bed of a great scholar." ~ Karma Chagme

I understand. At a recent teaching with Anne Klein she showed a video of him and at a certain point, when he was demonstrating how to 'relax', it kind of blew my mind.
