Here comes the big move! Packing the computer(s) today, so I won't see you all online for awhile. I am heading to Florida and then for my month retreat, so I'll be offline for awhile. When I get back I expect to be a lot less active on the Internet, (this is good) but I'm likely to drop in at some point. Thanks all for fantastic discussions/debates, etc. With Metta,

Bye for now!

Best wishes! May you resolve your doubts and return to resolve mine as well. You are very very fortunate to be afforded this time for strict practice. Use it wisely. May you return enlightened!

Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Hi Meindzai,
I'd love to do a month long self retreat, so I'm interested to hear what you think of the experience.
May it be a fruitful experience for you.

Four types of letting go:
1) Giving; expecting nothing back in return
2) Throwing things away
3) Contentment; wanting to be here, not wanting to be anywhere else
4) "Teflon Mind"; having a mind which doesn't accumulate things

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

"As Buddhists, we should aim to develop relationships that are not predominated by grasping and clinging. Our relationships should be characterised by the brahmaviharas of metta (loving kindness), mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion), and upekkha (equanimity)."
