Hi Sally

I think that Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche was giving advice to that specific person to "just pray". Sometimes "just praying" or saying the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra is a way to allow some "space" to the speed and madness that is going on in one's world (and in one's body, speech and mind).
Vidyadhara's approach to "leaning into the madness" is, in a way, the same kind of advice. When one leans into the madness, one can only meet with the spacious quality of the speed and madness rather then solidity of it. I think that the resistance to the speed and madness is what makes one feel overwhelmed.
What do you think?
