Description
The urgency of some questions and facing hidden truths help us discover our own true nature. We reveal ourselves at every turn. When we try to see our own light, we can’t—”it’s dark, dark,” says Yunmen. During sesshin, we sit and trust our own heart-mind to open, inquiring, “Who am I?” and, “How is this so?”
Summary
The urgency of some questions and facing hidden truths help us discover our own true nature. We reveal ourselves at every turn. We already are who we are; we just get more free.
When we try to see our own light, we can’t—”it’s dark, dark,” says Yunmen.
During sesshin, we sit and trust our own heart-mind to open, inquiring, “Who am I?” and, “How is this so?”
Often, the kindness of strangers carries us during difficult times. Synchronicity is enhanced, and when we can leave our troubles, our ‘selfness,’ then joy appears when all else has fallen away.
We find we can have it!
