A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 96 excerpt)

from Pariyatti

My teacher in India eventually attracted so many students that he began to appoint assistants to lead retreats on their own. I began assisting him in 1996 and soon was made a senior assistant teacher. I led ten-day retreats throughout Canada, the United States, England, Myanmar, and India. I especially enjoyed addressing the many issues my students faced, most of whom were dealing with the daily shock of seeing into the skittishness of their minds for the first time. I was on a mission to spread the teachings, I had status and prestige within the community of meditators, and my personal practice was strong. How my life had changed!... narrated by Ian McCrorie · 2023 · 5 minutes 54 seconds View on the Pariyatti store All Pariyatti podcasts: pariyatti.org/pages/podcasts
