The Buddha himself said once: -
When faced with all the ups and downs of life, Still the mind remains unshaken, Not lamenting, not generating defilements, always feeling secure, This is the greatest happiness.

i'd like to acknowledge neutral_onliner to thank you for posting this thread in the forum for the benefit of many (those who through this website able to come to know and benefit from these 2days retreats with venerable thubten chodron.)
i attended the workshop and were very meaningful, beneficial, precious and purifying. in the workshop, we received teachings from venerable thubten chodron, had meditation practice on vajrasattva visualization, reciting vajrasattva mantra, contemplations, group discussions and saying the great prayers of samantabhadra bodhisattva. this dharma workshop has benefitted me to understand the practice of bodhisattva's path abit more profoundly. and, i am extremely delighted that i was able to take part in the ceremony held by venerable thubten chodron on taking refuge in the tripple gem.
dedication
due to this merit may we soon
attain the enlightenment state of vajrasattva
that we may be able to liberate
all sentient beings from their sufferings.
may the precious dodhi mind
not yet born arise and grow.
may that born have no decline,
but increase forever more. -
