Hi Jeffrey thanks for your email. You si not includes the guidea meditations i any of the days? I am used to the brazilian retires of Prof. Wallace when all meditations an followed dharma talks are included. Do you have the videos of that guíes meditations? Can you shares by We Transfer? With metha,
Hi again, sorry for the previous question, the videos indicates a website where the meditations could be downloaded. The problems is that neither google or explorer let me open the link because they said is not a safe site. Is there any possibility to overpass this stupid automatic restriction? With metta,
sorry again I found the way to access to the meditation, you can enter to the SBI trough google and then find the retreat and the mp3. Many thanks for that precious teachings!
If enlightenment doesn't fundamentally include integration into daily life in the "world out there", I don't see how it can be referred to as enlightenment. Seems to me that a retreat (retreating from the world and having things easy as far as what to eat, where to sleep, money concerns etc), although beneficial in spurts, is not the primary place where enlightenment will be worked out. (In fact, it takes, to begin with, a certain socioeconomic status to be able to afford a retreat in the first place.) Quite the contrary, we should expect the so-called "lay person" to have a better chance at enlightenment than those who have the luxury to retreat from the world in this way. That may sound resentful ("boo hoo, I can't afford it and they can"), but in fact it's the opposite. I pity the fool who thinks plugging in to someone's official format and paying for retreats is "the way", and take joy in the flowering of wisdom out here in the wilds, among us mere lay-people. Also, making a belief in a next lifetime foundational is contrary to the medicine, in my humble opinion. Clinging to belief for or against a next life is an encumbrance.
Have you listened to the teaching? The entire point of the practice is to integrate into your current life, right now. It is foundational. The point is not to become a hermit, it is to live clearly with perfect intention, to be of benefit to all of humanity. Is there a portion of this teaching where that was perhaps unclear?
