Some of us live alone, some of us live with others, in various states of harmony and disharmony. Sangha practice encourages us to attend to our relational awareness as it conditions our life condition. How closely we pay attention to the quality of our heart energies and mind contents is revealed in how we treat ourselves and all the living beings around us.
How do you handle your material and immaterial environment that supports and serves you? Body, speech and mind are our instruments, what we bring to the exchanges unfolding as our life. We can choose to offer all these, skillfully. The tone of your words, spoken aloud and spoken in your inmost heart, expresses the quality of your wholeness, is the voice of the instrument of your life.
What echoes in all the ten directions? How aware are you of all that you are putting out in each of the ordinary moments of this day? This is where you practice “no gaps”. It’s lifelong . . . and evolves with patience, determination, self-compassion and continuous vow.
