Here's another cause of rejoicing: The Fall Festival in Spain. The diaries - videos, photos and text - are updated daily. They are the next best thing to attending.
Click the rectangular photo for each day for a virtual experience of the Festival, including excerpts from the teachings and meditations.
One video I particularly enjoyed is titled "Shrine Setup Time-lapse - New Kadampa Tradition Fall Festival 2012" where Kadampas zip around setting up the throne, Vajrapani shrine, and meditation hall.
In Eight Steps to Happiness Geshe-la says "'Self' and 'other' are relative terms, rather like 'this mountain' and 'that mountain ... 'This' and 'that' therefore depend upon our point of reference. This is also true of self and other. By climbing down the mountain of self, it is possible to ascend the mountain of other, and thereby cherish others as much as we presently cherish ourself."
