The Venerable Kyabje Gehlek Rimpoche spoke at St. Bart's today as part of the MeditateNYC program. A very cool dude. He had no problem with his own sometimes very long silences. A therapist once told me about the concept of having a container, which means that's what you're able to hold. Some people's containers are huge, meaning they can embrace everything that's around them, all-inclusive, not excluding anyone or anything... In this way they serve as a great healing vehicle and a point of convergence for good.  ¶ 11:09 PM
