Over time we experience of the limitations of body and mind. What we rely on doesn’t actually work. Life is a failure, but we can make it a glorious failure. The practice of Dhamma-Vinaya helps keep the spirit bright and impeccable in what we do. Dhamma means to establish ethical clarity, mindfulness, lovingkindness; Vinaya is bringing these ideals and aspirations forth into a living context.

Our energy systems can often feel burnt-out, depleting our vitality and potential. Attempts to re-energize can end up continually infecting us. Rewire the energetic lines through brahmavihara and samadhi cultivation. These culminate in awakening factors, and ultimately in awakening.

Opening, Suffusing, Releasing

A lot of suffering is related to a particular mode of doing, an involuntary overwhelming doing. Through mediation we cultivate a different way. By shifting the mind to presence, mind opens to a subtler aspect of doing on the feeling, subjective level – suffusing. We come out of the grip of how we usually attend. This is release.
