We need places of refuge in our lives and we need an inner place of stillness.
Curiosity, confidence and contentment as we develop mindfulness can be useful in developing inner refuge.
Much of our conditioning is about getting and having (things, experiences, etc) Our path in meditation and dharma practice is much more about letting go, relinquishment and surrender.
The Therigatha is a collection of enlightenment poems of the first Buddhist Nuns. The stories of the lives of these remarkable women and their poems of awakening can serve as a great inspiration to us as we follow in their footsteps.
