In repose\, in space\, in silent time\, answers can come. Wisdom and insight wash away problems. Transformation occurs in stillness. Through the practice of mindfulness\, the elementary harmony that creates wind horse – the Tibetan expression for positive energy – is created. Relaxation will then translate into everyday life and bring benefits. Internal change will bring external change. When we are clear and equipped with insight\, we are in a place to help others. It is by developing wisdom and compassion that we are able to be of the greatest assistance to others…. compassion heals.” – Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche \n\n\nAbout the Teacher\n\nAmrit Wagner\nAmrit Wagner is an approved meditation instructor under the guidance of Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche.
