On New Year’s Eve 2010, Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche spoke from India via Skype to practitioners attending a winter ngöndro retreat at Mindrolling Lotus Garden. In this audio recording of the address, Rinpoche teaches on The Four Reminders, particularly the ‘preciousness of human existence’. Rinpoche stresses the crucial importance of retreats such as this one, expressing her happiness at the dedication of the retreatants and the quality of the practice. Note: There are several brief instances of transmission disturbance during the teaching. Please also note in the background the sound of the conch calling monks to morning prayers.
