“If you come to me and say "Rinpoche, I can't meditate at all, my mind is going everywhere: here, past, present, future" I should give you a medal. Finally you are meditating. The whole purpose of this instruction is to make you realise you cannot concentrate.
(Buenos Aires, Jan 2019)”

澳洲法會與開示主辦方給參加者的警訊

6 January 2020

如你們所知，澳洲目前正遭逢野火肆虐，多個城市熱浪襲捲，空氣品質也因濃煙而達到有害健康的惡劣程度。由於風向、雷電和該地區三年旱災而導致的天乾物燥，每天的情況可能會突然驟變且無法預料。所以這是我們的責任來告知各位,目前計畫中的活動屆時有可能會在沒有太多預告下做出調整。同時，若有呼吸道和其他健康隱患的人士，應該再三考慮在目前的狀況下仍來訪澳洲。
