LICKING HONEY ON THE RAZOR BLADE
with Dharma Teacher Tsony
Working Partnership: How Mindfulness Inspires Compassion

The hazardous adventures of fearless compassionate wisdom in a world of change.
Embrace this time and culture and turn it into enlightening art. We are faced with chaos in unknown uncharted territories, a time of crisis. People lose the things that define them. When you are riding the tsunami of life on the surfboard of sanity the obstacles are hesitation and spiritual materialism.
Wisdom and compassion, as the core of Buddhist teaching, remain the sole refuge and reliable tools of equanimity. If you have compassion, attentiveness, dedication, you can do it. It is not a time for faint or undecided hearts. You have to be dedicated to walk the walk.
A Buddhist monk for over 25 years, Tsony completed two traditional 3-year retreats under the guidance of the late great meditation master Gendun Rinpoche. For 15 years he was the Abbot of Kundreul Ling Monastery in France where hundreds of Westerners have completed traditional 3-year retreats.
He has been teaching at Bodhi Path centers since 1999, many of those years under the spiritual guidance of the late 14th Shamarpa. In 2005, he began the transfer of his responsibilities at the Kundreul Ling community in order to concentrate on nurturing the growing Bodhi Path projects in Europe and the US.
In 2007, after choosing to adopt the lifestyle of a lay Dharma teacher, he left the monastic community to be fully available for his new responsibilities. Since then, Tsony has devoted his time to teaching Tibetan Buddhism and meditation practice.
In 2008 Tsony married Wendelin, a teacher and administrator in innovative education, from California.
Since 2009, following the 14th Shamarpa's advice, the couple has been living in the US at the Natural Bridge Bodhi Path center where Tsony serves as the resident teacher.
