His Holiness the Twelfth Gyalwang Drukpa recently gave the following direct, pithy instruction:
"Practice and keep your mind constantly in the presence"
He continually emphasizes the wisdom and skills of living in the presence and putting spirituality into daily life and practice.
May we all support His Holiness's prayers through our practice.
Lama Surya talks about the 17th Karmapa's recent visit to the US, as well as about Dharma in the West, practice tips, etc. You can read the article, entitled Karmapa Chenno, by going to Lama Surya's blog posting at: http://www.surya.org/wp/

“Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom.”

Since pure awareness of nowness is the real buddha,
In openness and contentment I found the Lama in my heart.
When we realize this unending natural mind is the very nature of the Lama,
Then there is no need for attached, grasping, or weeping prayers or artificial complaints,
By simply relaxing in this uncontrived, open, and natural state,
We obtain the blessing of aimless self-liberation of whatever arises.
