Crossing Tibet: 17 Lower Kongpo

Episode 17: Lower Kongpo Although Rinpoche had frequently asked the members of this large travel group that they must inform him about any particular difficulties, he had been given no warning of an emergency, until some of them came to tell him that they had run out of food. They were actually beginning to boil the leather of their yak skin bags. Let’s hear some more of Rinpoches teaching: "Our experience after the meditation can be blurred by ups and downs. Sometimes, we are full of enthusiasm and it feels like we are making tremendous progress. Sometimes, we think we are falling behind and everything is going wrong. Finally, there are neutral phases when nothing happens and no ups or downs are noticeable.
