What’s important based on last year’s talk and where we are at as a retreat:

Karma is about action. Activity. The Karma Kagyu

Green, Wind, North, etc.

Wisdom is All Accomplishing Action. Things get done magically.

Lao Tzu Quote: “

The best leaders, the people do not notice their existence.The next best, the people honor and praise.The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate ...When the best leader's work is done the people say, we did it ourselves!”

Neurosis is jealousy. Wanting what someone else has.

One of the most powerful emotions. Icky-est

Story of Ruth in Boulder and the greenhouse guy

My jealousy, claustrophobia, drove her away

Processing at RMDC. Learning new skills. Four Karmas. Windhorse. Four months of retreat.

Walks around the stupa at midnight. The wind up there!

Got back in touch. Started writing letters. Moved back east. Moved in together. Married now with three kids.

Jealousy almost ended it all.

What are we going to do with our precious human life?

Just be led around by what other people have?

Or do our own thing?
