Everything is here.

Your relationship to this mind and body determines your relationship to this life.

You cannot know how it is to be someone else and you cannot know how it is to have someone else’s life.

For myself, I don’t know how it is to be a woman, I don’t know how it is to be my best friend and I don’t even know how it is to be my son and have me as a father...

I only know how it is to be me because my life is determined by my relationship to this mind and what this mind presents, and my relationship to this body as it passes through old age, sickness and finally death.

It’s the same for all beings everywhere and so the object of your attention in your Dhamma practice is not some imaginary being or situation, but only this moment to moment of changing reality that we call ‘self’.

This is the profound beauty of Pure Dhamma practice, that everything you need you already have and all there is to do now is turn your attention inwards and be at peace with the world that you are creating and then experiencing.

You’re not broken, you don’t need to be fixed. You only need to recognise that you are already enough for complete liberation and put your attention in that place.

May all beings be happy.
