We’re now in Gold Coast, where it’s mid-summer so coming from the -15 degrees of Eastern Europe has been quite the pleasant shocker. But no worries, for here the sun is bright and shining, it’s hot and humid like the tropics, the waves crash on the beach throwing summery spray and salty mist everywhere, the water is really warm, and best of all Lama Ole Nydahl has arrived! So begins my new adventure, so begins another wondrous time spent with new friends, creating new memories in a place I had previously only dreamed of going. I arrived late last night after a near endless series of flights, so this is just a quick sneak into what is to come. Today’s highlights; A jump in the ocean, lots of friends meditating together, a talk by Lama Ole full of his usual wit and humor, and finally a moonlit guided Diamond Mind practice as a group led by Ole himself to end the evening. All this and the course hasn’t even started yet - so it seems we’re off to a good start!
