Here is a link to a talk that Khandro Rinpoche gave called "Practicing in Times of Adversity". It is audio only. As Rinpoche says: "It is a time of unspeakable fear and disruption for most of the world. During such times of crisis and struggle which arise in our lives, our practice could be one of the first things we turn to." @t
I love this. Because it's so divorced from neurotic concepts that plague me at times. Have these practices allowed me to be more supple, joyfully content, and kind to others? If yes, then keep at it! And if something isn't doing that for you, it's not your path!
I've been (mostly) 'walking the walk' for most of my life- I just didn't realise that my world view and behaviour was aligned with the teachings known as 'Dharma' until around 2-3 years ago! I have come across people who 'talk the talk', often rather boastfully, but I just smile and stay silent, and wordlessly pray that one day they will genuinely internalise the Dharma and express it in their speech and actions. Thank you Your Eminence- your book 'This Precious Human Life' is one of my favourite Dharma writings. Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha x.
Maybe just me, but I'm thinking that it might have been more helpful to have been walked through the practice or practices while in the presence of a teacher proficient in the practice. Just hearing about it could maybe not translate or lead to integration. Also maybe more than once with an authentic walk through might have helped too.

I really love Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche. Her teachings are always very clear and to the point.
Thanks Greg!
