Recently, Mr Sangay Tenzin, a teacher with Lhomon Education (LME) took part in a short retreat program coinciding with the Chotrhul Dawa.
He said, “It was an exciting three days journey where I got time to meditate, contemplate, and observe my mind. It was a strict full-day practice from 6 am to 9 pm. The practice included were tara practice, smoke offering, meditation and recitation of seven-line prayers.”
The retreat was offered as a part of teacher development training to allow individuals to cultivate and develop the innate quality of our minds, using our own wisdom tools such as meditation, recitation, and visualization in a solitary environment.
For us, developing innate qualities is about cultivating kindness and compassion as a basic foundation for a teacher’s transformation, as Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche has pointed out “The most important quality of a teacher is kindness. Teaching should not be treated as a job. It is a big responsibility; you are actually responsible for somebody’s life.”
