I turned 80 years old two days ago and have been pondering what this journey is all about. A friend sent a link to this channel and I watched this video a few moments ago. It brought tears to my eyes. You give us a gift dear person with these videos. I've danced around these teachings as well as those of Zen and Advaita Vedanta for the past thirty years. Perhaps it is time to take them fully into my heart, my being. If not now, when? Deep respect!

[@virginiasenophdrn5921]

You’re an inspiration! I’m only 12 years your junior. Yet you being 80 is great and inspirational for those of us yet to be. Thankyou!

I'm in my 66th year. After a grueling illness last year I find myself in "the best I've ever been!" Reading your comment just made me even better. Sending so much love to you, I hope it expands your heart wide open, you beautiful, beautiful soul.💞🙏💞

This 69 year old just loved this! So clear, so simple, so profound. Listened to it after emerging from sleep. What a way to start the day! Thank you Ayya 🙏🦢❤

[@williamcallahan5218]

I had a quintuple bypass about 11 years ago and decided then that I would double down on my practice and not treat it as a curiosity, but would make it a priority. The clock was ticking. After 4 or 5 years of "abiding" and self investigation I had gained a clarity that will carry me through any eventualities. It's not enlightenment but it is enough....

A lot of us geezers, older than Guplo of Nog, take hope from this. For me, it provided a missing piece. I finally understand what I need to do.

Acknowledging we are all ignorant and uneducated is the very beginning of our truth search. We need to come to this point to grow up.

So many bits of great wisdom woven throughout this teaching. That I happen to be 61 makes me smile...it's never too late.

Hey, can you please elaborate this point?

[@JJJordan2]

As I just heard this teaching today for the first time, and read a few of the comments below, I feel deeply grateful that I have come upon it. My journey is on this path and this teaching very much feels like another step, another piece to the picture - perspective from all sides, in a way. I cannot say thank you enough. The experiential truth to emptiness being everything, fundamentally, is available to all of us and yet I am humbled by the idea that these teachings are being shared with and discovered by me at this moment in my life.

[@awakenow51]

Thank you all for your practice. We are blessed to hear the words and to understand. If anyone is in west Marin, CA and wants to gather with a Dharma sister let me know!

[@pemasherpa6637]

Jokchen teaching is very sacred and holy. I request all to pray deeply to the guru and always make offerings to deities to allow practice in right way and be beneficial. Practicing these teachings wrongly can be harming. Thus, praying guru to show the right path is always the right way to indulge into practice.

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

God, guru and self are 1 no? You are correct, not having understanding of this practice before engaging in these practices can be detrimental. It is good and proper to have guidance.

[@SamaneriJayasara]

It's not if you think about it! Stop thinking and just relax and rest in empty Awareness. Even if this happens for only a short moment, that is the beginning of the path for you. Short moments, many times until one just naturally settles. 😍

If you click on the video. Somewhere in the picture appears a button with CC in it. That switches on the automatic english subtitles. They are pretty good, depending on how clear the speaker speaks. With this speaker they should be 98% accurate.
