MISTAKES

Mistakes also have a point to them. As far as the warrior's steps go, 
there is no defeat at all, there are no mistakes at all. Both 
positive and negative are the path, the general pattern. Any negative 
experience which occurs is an invitation or vanguard of positive 
experiences, as well. It just happens that way.

 From "The Bardo of Dreams," in TRANSCENDING MADNESS: THE EXPERIENCE 
OF THE SIX BARDOS, page113.

     Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, prominent Buddhist teacher and the 
author of What Makes You Not a Buddhist, will be teaching a public 
seminar in Halifax, Nova Scotia, November 28 to 30. Rinpoche will 
comment on Transcending Madness: The Experience of the Six Bardos, 
Chogyam Trungpa's book on the bardo states and the six realms. 
Khyentse Rinpoche's dynamic style and brilliant intellect, as well as 
his deep appreciation for Chogyam Trungpa's teachings, are sure to 
make this a memorable weekend.
