Exploring how we atone: become one with what our experience in meditation and with the truth of each moment. Learning Right Effort as relaxing and giving ourselves to the dharma experientially. True samadhi means to come into harmony with this moment and discover what unfolds now.
Exploring the pith instruction from the Satipatthana refrain: 'one abides independent, not clinging to anything in the world'. This level of letting go or release reveal what is here: both ordinary mind and Luminous Mind.
