"The key point in working with the subtle body lies in noticing our feelings and learning to welcome them, to accept them, and to relate with them rather than allowing them to take over or trying to control them or push them away.

In simple terms, we learn through working with the subtle body that whatever emotions we experience are not the totality of our being.

Yes, they are a part of our experience—but only a part.

We can work with them, breathe with them, and welcome them into our "home." Ultimately, feelings are only guests. They arise and emerge as a result of various conditions, but they're not permanent residents."

In this teaching, Tsoknyi Rinpoche reflects on the social "I" and shows how it can be used beautifully to benefit others without grasping at it as a fixed identity. He points to His Holiness the Dalai Lama as a living example of using the social "I" to benefit beings.

In this teaching, Tsoknyi Rinpoche explores the disconnect between the mind’s understanding and the body’s felt experience.

When understanding remains only in the mind, disturbances in the subtle body can leave us feeling speedy and restless.

In this teaching, Tsoknyi Rinpoche invites us to stop trying to change our experience. Whatever arises in the feeling world: joy, sadness, boredom, numbness, or anything in between can be met with gentle awareness.

He describes this meeting as a handshake between awareness and the feeling world.

In this teaching, Tsoknyi Rinpoche explores the distinction between the mere I and the reified I. Instead of holding tightly to a fixed sense of self, he invites us to hold it lightly, allowing us to move through the world with greater openness and ease.

At Tsoknyi Gechak Ling Nunnery, Chobar Nepal

07/06/2026

On June 19th the nuns of Tsoknyi Gechak Ling Nunnery had the precious opportunity to receive blessings and an audience with His Holiness Chamgon Kenting Tai Situ Rinpoche.

During the audience, Tsoknyi Rinpoche respectfully offered a mandala of body, speech, and mind to His Holiness Chamgon Kenting Tai Situ Rinpoche. We feel deeply fortunate and blessed to have received his blessings and guidance on this auspicious occasion.
