Instructions for practice.

All of the Buddha’s teachings can be understood as instructions for practice. As practitioners, it is our work that reveals the truth of the teachings. Put them to the test, contemplate them, digest them, resolve your uncertainty and doubt, follow your curiosity.

We all have an opportunity to be more present in the world, to contribute from a place of abundance and to bring about tremendous benefit and change. To actually do that isn’t easy, so we must follow a path and commit to a life of practice.

Step by step, we learn to work with the hesitation and fear, we learn to open up, to be more vulnerable and understanding, and to recognize the gifts that we can share with the world- gifts of kindness, generosity and compassion.

Curiosity.

Curiosity is ravenous.  It devours anything it needs to keep digging deeper.

Curiosity is unstoppable.  Obstacles and problems only fuel the fire.

Curiosity is propelled.  Stillness can't even hold it back, it may even act as a catalyst. 

The curious student makes their way from studying to contemplating to creating and even testing their theory. 

Give someone a degree and they could have a job for life.  Make them curious, and they could have a passion.
