Volume 26, Number 4 / August 2026
In this wonderful teaching excerpt from the recent summer retreat, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche inspires us to see more clearly how the peace, or joy, or a sense of purpose that we may be struggling to find in our lives, or that we feel we are missing or wanting to change, is really closer than we think. Thank you, Rinpoche!
In terms of the teachings and practice, it’s very simple. I’m going back to this idea that I shared yesterday of peace and joy and purpose in life. Universally, we all want peace. We all want joy.
Join us at Serenity Ridge or online for three upcoming retreats in late September and early October with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche! All are open to beginners and experienced meditators. You can attend in person at Serenity Ridge or online on Zoom. We hope you can join us!

We tend to view emotional and physical pain as the enemy. This three-week online workshop, Healing From the Source, September 12 – October 4, with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche reveals why we shouldn’t, and shows us how meditations based on ancient Tibetan dzogchen teachings can transform or heal our own pain and sickness through the warmth of loving-kindness.
