WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE
OF DETACHMENT
+
Do not look for innate knowledge
In the mind that has already gone astray.
Look for it in the mind
Before it has gone astray.
The essence of mind is our true
Nature. We cannot depart
From our true nature.
So how can mind get lost
And go astray?
When we say we have lost it,
It means it is frantically
Pursuing things.

+ Detachment, letting go, allows us to become who we
really are. The practice of stillness
has led us here. It’s different. It’s heavenly. It’s reality. Are you ready, willing and eager to explore heaven
here on earth day after day, breath after breath? Am I? Are we?
Detachment means
Letting Go and Letting God. It means accepting the fact, the reality, that our
earthly life with all of its delights and disappointments is temporary. There is a greater reality worth finding,
exploring, sharing, creating. What will
you create even as you let go? I hope
you will share your intentions and accomplishments with us.
