Speaker: Meryl Yoss. Meryl describes in detail the three foundational pillars of her life as a student of the Venerable Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche: practice, patience, and persistence. She covers a wide range of the techniques and tools of her practice, and in the process uncovers deep wisdoms of the Dharma. In preparing for the talk, Meryl also shares various questions and issues that require more thinking, contemplation and investigation on her part. Despite the importance of asking questions and examining the Dharma ‘as a goldsmith examines gold’, Meryl has learned that it takes time to fully understand, and therefore requires patience with herself and resting in not knowing.
