Description:

“If I can practice having tenderness and compassion for my own experience, it’s like having a couple of extra windows in your house. You can then see what other people are going through and then we can have companionship.”

 

Further expanding on Bendōwa: On The Endeavor Of The Way, one of the study texts for our current practice period, Koshin Paley Ellison touches upon self-compassion leading to intimacy, the concept of “arriving” in spiritual practice, and companionship with your teacher and sangha.
