thank you very much! also this link is very useful!

Tashi Delek, is there a certain prayer you should say before the meal? I don't know it so what I usually do is to thank to everybody who contributed to making this food and I ask for the blessing that eating this food would help me sustain my body for the reason so I could continue my way on Bodhicita path. then I recite the Mantra of Chenrezig for a couple of times. And (as I learned on the seminar - thank you, AniChodron!!) I always leave some pieces of the food for Pretas, so afterwards I offer it to them. I will be happy to hear your ways of doing this.

I am really looking forward to this year's teachings! and I think it would be great if we could repeat such a seminar we had, just that it should last few days more (and include more group meditations). ;-F

tashi delek, simona, well, of course not how could I get all the answers my mind has questions for! I don't feel like I was supposed to understand all the "answers" that I received. I am willing to take it step by step and I feel comfortable with this. perhaps I should correct myself - I received glimpses of "answers" on the level that I expected them. in another words - seminar fulfilled my expectations. how did you find it?

tashi delek, you mean you did not get the answers you wished for or is it that you just opened your window? i received many answers.
