Open House

Yesterday was a really interesting day at the center. Every first Tuesday is open house for people to come to learn about the center and receive sitting meditation instruction. What was so amazing is a woman practically came to San Antonio to visit our center from Argentina. She has read many of Chogyam Trunpa's books and studies the Shambhala teaching with her husband and a few friends in Argentina. I completely forgot to ask how she became so interested in Shambhala since she seems to have never been to one before and the nearest one to her home is in Chile. She was so excited I was floored. Thankfully Doria was the instructor last night and was able to speak to her in Spanish for any of her questions that she was having a problem asking in English. Her aunt lives here in San Antonio and when they were speaking over the phone and Shambhala was mentioned the aunt informed her there was a center here. So when she came to visit her aunt she was most interested in visiting our center as well. I wish I could have spoken to her more. I hope she is able to come to the center for the open sit on Sunday before her flight in the afternoon.
