Welcome :)
The heart of the path is quite easy. There’s no need to explain anything at length. Let go of love and hate and let things be. That’s all that I do in my own practice.

I'm sure there's no chance of that with the fellows you work with.

Though - forgive me - every time I see Kahil Bodhi i read 'Kol Rabi'..... :tongue:

I am sooooo happy - How on earth could I be otherwise?! :D

Good luck KB :)
