Rinpoche points out that everything comes from your mind. This awareness should always be there. Be also aware that you see your „I"", all sense objects, as really existing from their own side, due to the imprints of past ignorance. The basis of your retreat should be the awareness that your are living in hallucination, like in a dream, keep up the mindfulness of that. The purpose to do retreat is to subdue your mind, that is your daily practice. That is so important. Otherwise the essence of your retreat is not there, it becomes very poor. All your past, present and future happiness comes from the kindness of sentient beings. On the basis of that, you practice tantra. Remember, the foundation is practicing lam rim, the 3 aspects of the path, correctly following the words of the virtuous friend. All that brings about great peace and happiness and you can enjoy your life!
