To leave behind all the things that happened before, all the way up to yesterday. It is a moment, Rinpoche shared, to see that we have never been stuck:\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;Our mind has always been free. It has never been bound or stuck in any space nor any habit of negativities. We may have experienced some habits, but we are never stuck there. Therefore, we can free ourselves, all the time, anytime.&#8221;<\/p><p>So, therefore, Rinpoche expressed his aspiration and prayers to clear away any old negative habits that might remain and bring energy into new positive habits and, ultimately, realize our mind&#8217;s true nature through perfecting our meditation.\u00a0<\/p><p>Want to learn more about the meaning of the various aspects of a year, a month and days?
