Description
The kindness of strangers often carries us during difficult times—synchronicity is enhanced. When we can leave our troubles, our “selfness,” then joy appears when all else has fallen away. And we find we can have it!
Summary
During sesshin we sit and trust our own heart-mind to open, inquiring: Who am I? and, How is this so?
Facing hidden truths—and the urgency of some questions—helps 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.
The kindness of strangers often carries us during difficult times—synchronicity is enhanced. When we can leave our troubles, our “selfness,” then joy appears when all else has fallen away. And we find we can have it!
Includes readings from Japanese death poems—a tradition of freedom.
