Our Dhamma practice.
Our whole Dhamma discipline in based only in two things. Awareness and
Love. We're not bowing down to Buddha statues, lighting incense and putting it
out in certain ways, or performing rites and rituals and killing animals on
special days of the year.
Look, we're just sitting here silently in a room together, cultivating awareness
to know the mind so that we are no longer deluded by it and opening the heart
so we can be at peace with this being that we call self. Now what we bring to
life is a being far beyond the narrow social, cultural and religious
identifications we cling to so tightly, but a presence that serves and cares
for all beings equally.
Do not think that your time is wasted on your cushion. Here you serve the
world by your effort for awakening, and I put my hands together in Anjali for
your dedication.
May all beings be happy.
