Tuesday, April 21

Dear Sangha,

I hope you are safe and well in this strange time we are living through.

Letting go is a fundamental element of our practice. It is a key to peace, wellbeing and awakening.  It is both explicit and implied in many of our meditations and teachings.  Letting go of our views, of the tension in our bodies, of clinging to and aversion from anything, brings freedom from self-induced suffering and freedom to fully enjoy the gifts of our lives.  We learn to be with what is, no longer caught and pulled out of the present moment by avoiding or running after something beyond what is.  We become both solid and free.  Thay said solidity and freedom are attributes of Nirvana.  Please join me this Tuesday to explore and enjoy this liberating practice.
