My Comments
Summer;
Phew! and its so hot, and how
people smile its lovely to see. I have had new
deshi to train and this time is always a good time
for me to reflect on what they ask and how they
do. As we are all teachers, we never stop and
think about what we teach, however, its often
because the teaching is for the recipient and not
for us to understand.
My recent deshi asked, "what
can I do should I do lots of meditation? should I
etc etc. As she knew and understood exoteric
teachings it was natural to do what she knew,
however, if you were going to a new world which
you knew nothing, how would you know what to take
that would be of any use? Sometimes it can be
useful to enter a new change or a new situation by
leaving all you know behind.
Enjoy your summer but look forward
to the autumn with an empty head, you may be
surprised at what you see for the first time.
