Imagine sitting on a warm beach with the sound of waves rolling over the sand. Stay tuned.

What is important is not to make too much of our experience. We love to create magical meaning and elevate ourselves through our so called spiritual experience, imaging ourselves to be special. But from the point of view of Dzogchen, everything is to be liberated for presence has no ground or root. Good things should go free, bad things go free. If we get attached to the moments when we have good health and all is going well, then when we get sick, we can become unhappy because we have attached our sense of happiness on an experience.

Enjoyment is different than attachment. Enjoyment is in the moment, attachment seeks continuation of the moment. The key then is to relax, be present in the moment, use each moment, each arising as a means of returning to instant present that rests on nothing. The more you practice in the view, the more everything becomes a teaching for you, so that every song you hear, the food you eat, or standing in a queue in the supermarket, everything becomes a revelation of the nature of mind.

Everything changes when we awaken to the realization that awareness is unborn, is not a thing, is not resting anywhere. Then all our assumptions, all the beliefs that we have relied upon and have taken to be true about ourselves and our world, turn out to be false. Instead of helping us, these beliefs have just maintained the confusion. But when we see that our nature is infinite and beyond conditioning, then we can simply relax and be present with both stillness and movement, realizing that this very moment is all we ever have.

This tree faced the hurricane and survived, no thrived. You can too. ❤️

Rooted in resilience. The Victory Tree whispering: Sometimes the greatest win is simply sitting back, letting the ocean breeze take the weight, and allowing the soul to heal in silence. We await you...

Yeshe Tsogyal Calling her Teacher:
Come and claim me.
All of me.
I am not afraid of you
Or of myself drawing near to you.
I know your name as you know mine
And as we swing around this mandala
I will not falter or betray you
One look into your eyes relieves me of despair
So forever mindful I will dance
A thankful protege
And offer you sweet emptiness
And bliss.

Happiness as a Spiritual Practice: A Spiritual Autobiography
How often has someone asked you if you were happy? Were you able to answer them right away or did you have to take some time to think about it, and then found yourself reflecting on their words as if they were some kind of puzzle to sort through or riddle to solve? Happiness is a feeling that we think we know and recognize and might even assume to be our natural state. Maybe we think that we should be happy simply by virtue of being alive. Lately however I have come to the realization that being happy is not so natural a situation. It is not something that I can assume simply because I am alive and find my eyes open and awake some morning. Being happy I know now is usually a choice, and a choice that must be opted for daily, hourly, and sometimes when things are particularly challenging, moment by every moment. Being happy means that we have made a choice to surrender to happiness as a spiritual practice. By doing so we are then fortunate to be in the position to help others and support their choice to be happy too.

If you wear robes, let them be like a rainbow — appearing, beautiful, but without substance. If you do not wear robes, let your natural presence shine — naked, simple, and uncontrived.
