  Relish these direct, experiential meditation instructions from the author of the bestselling Introduction to Tantra.Lama Yeshe tells us that mahamudra is “the universal reality of emptiness, of nonduality” and its unique characteristic is its emphasis on meditation: “With mahamudra meditation there is no doctrine, no theology, no philosophy, no God, no Buddha. Mahamudra is only experience.”He relies on the First Panchen Lama’s well-known Root Text of Genden Mahamudra, which in a few short pages provides the pith instructions for, first, overcoming distraction and resting in meditative stillness on the clarity of one’s own mind, and then, with subtle awareness, penetrating its ultimate nature, its emptiness.As always, Lama Yeshe’s words are direct, funny, and incredibly encouraging. He gets us to go beyond ego’s addiction to a limited sense of self and to taste the lightness and expansiveness of our own true nature.

  It’s not gay to admire another guy’s physique…right? 
  “Go ahead, bro—it’s ok to touch.” 
  I extend my hands, resting my palms atop his hard, golden-tan pecs. My fingertips glide over his sunbaked hide as I stare in awe at the flawless curvature. There’s something about touching another guy’s chest that feels incredibly emasculating…but it also feels good? I don’t understand… 
  He says he’ll help me get fit if I follow his instructions, but lately, that’s meant giving him a lot of money. I’ve been obeying though. I can’t explain why, but it just feels like the right thing to do. 
  We’ve even been doing his “special” exercises every day after the gym. I was hesitant at first, but he assures me it gets the blood flowing and promotes muscle growth. 
  He’s just trying to help me improve myself… 
  …right?

  Service is much more than a mere act of giving; it is a transformative experience that intertwines our personal growth with the welfare of others. At its core, service is an expression of compassion, empathy, and responsibility. It calls upon us to use our unique gifts to address the needs of our communities and to create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. When we engage in service, we recognize that our contributions, no matter how small, have the potential to bring about significant change. 
  Understanding service begins with a deep reflection on our own lives. It requires us to assess our strengths and passions, asking ourselves what we can offer that might alleviate another’s struggle or enhance their quality of life. This process is not solely about what we do for others but also about how these actions enrich our own lives. The act of helping fosters a sense of purpose and fulfillment that can lead to personal development and a more resilient, positive mindset. 
  Service is also a powerful tool for building community. In a world where isolation and disconnection are increasingly prevalent, acts of service serve as a bridge that connects individuals from diverse backgrounds. Whether it is lending a hand to a neighbor, volunteering for a local charity, or engaging in community projects, each act of service contributes to a larger tapestry of collective well-being. These actions remind us that we are part of a larger whole and that every contribution is vital to the strength and success of our communities.

  As one of the seminal social revolutions in human history, the French Revolution holds a unique legacy, especially in the West. The early years of the Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. But history remembers the French Revolution in a starkly different way, as the same leaders who sought a more democratic system while out of power devolved into establishing an incredibly repressive tyranny of their own once they acquired it. 
  The early years of the French Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. But history remembers the French Revolution in a starkly different way, as the same leaders who sought a more democratic system while out of power devolved into establishing an incredibly repressive tyranny of their own once they acquired it. 
  The height of Republican France’s tyranny came during a 10 month period forever known as the Reign of Terror, the most notorious and arguably most memorable part of the French Revolution. One of the first victims of the Reign of Terror was its most famous: former French Queen Marie Antoinette. But Antoinette was followed by thousands more, including everyone from aristocrats to clergy to prostitutes and even instrumental revolutionaries like Danton, Desmoulins, and, most notably, Robespierre. It was Robespierre whose position on the Committee of Public Safety made him the Reign of Terror’s instrumental figure until he himself became a victim of it in July 1794. Robespierre’s date with the guillotine is often considered the official end of the Reign of Terror, but by then it is estimated that at least 16,000 people were guillotined in that time and possibly 25,000 more were summarily executed across the country.
