Appreciations for Dharma Teachings on CD

 “Dear Christopher, I have you for breakfast every morning. Well, not exactly. I listen nearly every morning to one of your talks on a CD while having coffee and muesli. I really find it a great start to the day. Thank you for your teachings.”

“I’m back in Kathmandu. I was listening to one of your talks halfway up a mountain in the Himalayas. You told one of your funny stories. It really made me laugh. I nearly lost my foothold. It was a talk on mindfulness practice! ”

“I have been in hospital for some weeks having an operation for cancer. Before I went into hospital, I downloaded some of your talks that you had made available. Your teachings really helped me get through a very difficult time. Your teachings on not clinging to birth, ageing, pain and death and not clinging to “I” and “my” really matter.”

“It takes me about an hour to get to work in the car. I use the time to listen to one of your talks. I feel much more relaxed about being in a traffic jam. Some of your talks seem to time perfectly with what happens during the day for me. Keep up the good work! ”

“I’m a monk in the forest in Thailand. It is often hard to receive dharma teachings. The abbot is often away teaching in his other branches or it is hard to find an interpreter. I have a bunch of your tape cassettes here with me from the 1980’s. The talks really give me a lot of support in my practice. Thank you.”

“I often can’t sleep at night. I am too tired to read. There is nothing on television worth watching. I am not in the mood to listen to music. I am too restless to lie in bed. So I put a CD on of one of your talks. I know you love the night hours. I listen to a talk. Then I can get to sleep! ”

“I really feel you are with me in my small apartment. Your talks and inquiries remind me of the retreats in India, the wonderful sangha, as well as give me much to reflect on.“

“I’m a psychotherapist. You spoke in one of your talks about the importance of silence – to allow the inner movement from the unspoken to the spoken. I now begin all my meetings with clients with five minutes of sitting together in pure silence. The clients come to much more depth this way. I am much more receptive. Thank you! ”
