Practice Blog
Observe these two
Almost as soon as we start to practice meditation, to look inward, we see just how wild and untrained are the states of our mind. We are helplessly taken for a ride over and over and over again in endless patterns of reactivity.
The general instruction of ‘observe these two’ is to first take responsibility for our own self and sanity and, second, to be of service to others, helping them to do the same.

The "Hut"
