After retreat we return to a world of duties and responsibilities. Don’t forget your duty to the Buddha who gave us Dhamma, the way out of suffering. Integrate your life in terms of the 8-fold path. Give particular attention to speech. Pause and consider, place something carefully with a mind of goodwill for someone else to hear.
The sign of spiritual freedom is a deep trust in our essential nature, and in the light of awareness that lives through all beings. This talk explores the conditioning that entraps us in a trance of separation and believing in a limited self. We then explore the evolutionary shift in identity that is possible as we deepen our attention and presence to the life that is here, and the loving awareness that is the source of existence.
