The Camp Participants taking lead

  ‘‘Actually, in Bhutan, we have a tradition of many kinds of profound and deep meditation practices such as Shamatha, Vipassana, visualization and dissolution. Even then, we are not aware of our own tradition and heritage. These days, when people from outside teach us mindfulness, there is shock and disbelief, leading people to believe that we need such things. This is similar to us not being able to recognize our own possessions and wealth. Only when the outsiders give us these things to us, which we actually already possess, then it appears like that the outsiders are introducing such a thing.’’ —   Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche
