The Gunas: stepping stones to Samadhi
Saturday, July 28th, 2007
Space is an essential element in yoga practice. Space allows a natural expansion. This is true for stars, planets, gases, solids, liquid and it is even true on a metaphysical level, so that consciousness to, depends on space for expansion.

He called it Zen sickness, and sought the advice of a Taoist […]
From The real world ‘kill the mosquitos’
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007
by Venerable Ajhan Summedho
My instincts say, ‘Kill the mosquitoes! They’re a nuisance, they give you malaria. . . . Kill those blasted midges; get rid of them as quickly as possible!’ But then the human side says that they have as much right to be here as I do. Who am I to […]
From The Real World

by Venerable Ajahn Summedho
Meditation isn’t an escape from the instinctual world, but an opening up to it; it’s a way of understanding the world, apart from the reactions of indulgence or suppression.
