Summer is well on its way.
Last night we sat together for the last time this « season » in our Friday night place, the Red Earth Centre. My question for everyone was: What is your one obstacle?
I talked a bit, others shared their thoughts and impressions. Then we each went our ways.
A true meditation practice, as the late great Tibetan master Chogyam Trungpa said, is a « constant act of freedom, » for in such a practice we are without expectations, objectives, goals, intentions. And, I might add, we are therefore without obstacle.
What is your one obstacle?
