In this session, the group engaged in a comprehensive discussion about Buddhist practices and concepts, including suffering, meditation, and the nature of Dharma, with participants sharing personal experiences and perspectives. They explored various aspects of emotional processing and mindfulness, discussing how different approaches like therapy and meditation can address emotional pain and develop awareness.

Participants shared spiritual challenges while discussing mindfulness for balance. Geshe taught on mindfulness, reality, and heart-mind, focusing on practical applications. The group explored meditation practices, dark retreats, and the mental body concept. The session concluded with guidance on managing uncertainty and future planning.

Geshe speaks of the funeral proceeding for His Eminence Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche who recently passed which becomes the occasion for a wide-ranging reflection on the dying process, Phowa, Thukdam, signs of yogic realisation, and the power of post-death connection. Geshé-la responds to questions on lineage, ancestors, and interfaith, and a meditation on the stages of dissolution closes the session.

This session discusses yogic conduct and the continuity of awareness beyond formal meditation. The group explores how post-meditation practice functions in everyday life, and how presence can be maintained in action and speech. Teachings are shared on embodiment, conduct as expression, and how internal practice shapes outer behaviour.
