Dear Sangha,
My deepest desire is for enlightenment, for myself and for everyone. My experience is that my taste of enlightenment generates by best moments, characterized by joy, love, satisfaction and a strong sense of wellbeing. I know it’s not all sweetness and light. Part of my practice is encountering my suffering and thereby transforming my suffering into wellbeing. I think mindfulness is the practice of enlightenment, and I want to practice more, throughout my day, and to practice more skillfully. I also want to teach and lead others in this practice so that we may together grow spiritually, emotionally and in our thought and action, and together to more powerfully help to heal and transform our world. I want very much to transform our relationship to the earth and all the life and non-life that constitutes the whole earth community, so we generate a thriving earth community, and we and the other species of life thrive and fulfill our potential. I also want the oceans and the mountains and rivers and the sky to be healthy and beautiful as they are essential components of a healthy world and are valuable in their own right. I like to think of the whole cosmos, the earth and life as an evolutionary process and want to fulfill my role and for us to fulfill our role in the great journey of evolution. Each of us is a unique being, with a unique view of the world and unique qualities and aspirations. What is your deepest aspiration? What would bring you great joy to be manifesting in the world?
Please join us this Sunday and we’ll dive into the deep centers of our beings to discover and manifest our highest and best selves and find joy in the process.
Smiling,
Keith
