Without clinging to forms that we can't maintain in a workday world, what can we bring from the retreat into our daily lives? What helps us to ease back in, rather than have a crash landing? Thanks for your thoughts. I’m interested in the re-entry process that happens when we leave the retreat and return to our daily lives.

I recently returned from a 5 day silent meditation retreat at Spirit Rock in Marin County. One of the most transforming "vacations" of my life. Now I meditate every day and have joined a local meditation group that meets once a week. Love it, Thanks for your post. Tiffany,

You may not get this question every day. :-) A couple of friends of mine are getting married. Both are huge fans of Pema Chodron. They've read all her books and, more importantly, live her teachings. My one friend has endured excruciating pain since she had neck surgery and has found Pema Chodron's books very comforting. Many times, she has had people disappoint her. I admire the way she always show them kindness and gentleness. Her fiance is a lawyer - but not just any lawyer - the sort that speaks for those without a voice - like abused children. Her fiance is also soft-spoken, gentle, and kind. I wasn't sure who to ask - what would be a good wedding gift for two people who, though not Buddhist, espouse the principles of Buddhism? Maybe there are traditional gifts, prayers, or toasts. If you could advise me or know someone who could, please let me know. Thank you. Have a nice day! Good morning.
