The practice.

Vipassana without technique is what I present to you.

There is structure of course, but there is always the space for insight or true understanding to arise. This is called ‘Letting go’.

We sit quietly and let go of ambition and expectation. We let go of any desire to get something, or to know something, or to understand something but simply to get out of our own way and allow the truth that we carry within us to manifest into our life.

In this way we experience insight and deep understanding directly. It’s not a commentary in the meditation or something that you read in a book with footnotes and diagrams, but a direct and personal experience of the truth.

This is the knowing that cannot be lost or mistaken. If you have to ask, ‘is this an insight?’ the answer must be a resounding NO!

You are welcome to come to my room anytime and speak to me about anything you feel is important, and I will always do my best to be of service to you. But there is also a point where I must stop telling you things, because the danger is that I will create an idea in your mind which you then pursue. It is a simple Dhammic fact that the less of ‘you’ there is the happier life will be.

Your life then becomes the blessing for yourself and ultimately all beings.

When the Buddha awoke under the Bodhi Tree he smiled. This same smile sits in your heart waiting to be freed.

May all beings be happy.
