    Hi Stephen, I found that the session sparked off some useful and interesting self reflection. Scott’s question at the beginning “who are you when you are alone” kept coming back to me, and I learned that food, tv,knitting, downloading with friends, as well as walking in nature are all refuges when I feel disturbed. It helped me connect with the disturbing feelings that drive me to seek refuge.

    Meditation and faith remain my ultimate refuges but sometimes when i am very disturbed i need to remove myself first before I am able to connect with them.

    I found it a useful and interesting session, thank you

    Hello Stephen and Kamlo
    Thank you very much for providing this very interesting course – I really enjoyed the last session.

    I have been a student of Buddhism for the last 10 years but recently have found practice difficult. I thought this would be a good reentry point. I also was very interested to learn about the teachings from a psychological perspective. Sometimes I find the cultural practices off putting and I thought that this would help me access the teachings in a different way.

    In practice, I loved the last session and felt very joyful to be back on the cushion in a teaching. I found Stephen’s teaching style very easy and the time went quickly.

    Thank you for providing this resource.
