Letter from a Friend: Rodrigo Zimmerling

Dear Ven Thubten Chodron,

You recommended that I get your book Guided Meditations on the Stages of the Path, and I did. It is fantastic. Before I also did daily meditations on lamrim using a different meditation handbook, but it wasn’t as complete and didn’t have a CD to listen to. In your book and CD, there are many topics, such as the eight worldly concerns and patience, that I had heard about in teachings but had never meditated on. I enjoy learning how to do these meditations now.

I am a very modern Dharma practitioner. That means I like to use the mp3 CDs, and I enjoy the daily teachings of Bodhisattva Breakfast Corner (Stages of the path) that are on You Tube. It is so kind of you to give these teachings every day and let people watch them for free. Every morning I make myself a cup of tea, switch on the computer, and enjoy these wonderful short teachings. It’s the best way to start the day.

Thanks a lot. Yours in the dharma
