I would like to give you a reminder: when you are in a serious mood, smile, with Shambhala vision. The sitting practice of meditation is VERY important for you. JUST SIT, as you are instructed to do. I’m so pleased by your composure. Beyond that, the main point is to care for the world and also to have a sense of humor.
