Discussion Between Two Old Men

I would like to say that I am currently writing this blog while on retreat at my Dharma Centre in Pacific Grove, California. As you know, the outbreak of COVID-19 has forced many countries into lockdown, including the United States, and I have chosen to take advantage of this very good opportunity to go on a silent retreat. For me, meditation is more important than anything. As some of you also know, last year I did not have time to go on my annual retreat as I have done in previous years because I was very busy at the centre.

In this blog, I would like to tell a story which is a bit humorous, and also very true. It really happened!
