Israel, 2009

The lamas' first talk was on Israeli Independence Day, May 28th, which is a huge holiday, starting the night before with fireworks and dance parties. Every green spot in Tel Aviv was filled with families having picnics, barbecuing, enjoying the day. Everyone told us that it was a very bad day to have teachings, but in spite of that, we had a big crowd.

Here is the *link* to the first day's talk, "Path of Wisdom for a Perfect World". And the first day's reading: *link*.

The next day was all about yoga, Tibetan Heart Yoga series 4, all about inner winds. Mercedes and Nyingpo taught asanas, and later, Lama Dvora taught the philosophy section: *link*. Mercedes also learned and sang a beautiful Israeli song, Mi Ha-Ish, or "Who is the man". *link*

In the afternoon, Geshe Michael and Lama Christie taught *asanas*, and later a talk on How Yoga Works, which is available *here*. And *here* is the link to the reading for that talk.
