      Fifty years ago today, January 7th, as an 18-year old, I walked through the gates of the Burmese Vihara in Bodhgaya, India, to attend my very first meditation retreat. In fact, it was my very first practical instruction in meditation altogether.

      The instructor was SN Goenka, and other attendees included Joseph Goldstein, Ram Dass, Krishna Das, Daniel Goleman, Mirabai Bush and many others who are still close friends.

      I don’t have the words to describe the degree of blessing that turn in my life was, how much I rely on my practice every day, and how completely weird it is to look back over a 50-year span.

      To quote the Buddha, life is like an echo, a rainbow, a flash of lightning in a summer sky, a drop of dew on a blade of grass. Life is like a dream.
