You're missing it. It's right here but you're missing it.

Life is amazing! Miracles are every moment.

The practice opens us up because it frees us from ourselves.

Because we're bearing down on each moment with our wants, with our don't wants, with our hopes, with our fears. We're never looking at the moment nakedly.

We're always looking at it through a lens, But that lens gets clearer and clearer and clearer.

With each breath you take. Every time that you go and sit on the cushion. When you come here for Dharma talks. When you listen to the podcast - it gets clearer and clearer.

And then natural.

You become more natural.

Give it up to the Buddha. To that greater aspect of ourselves. Then the wisdom will come through right there in that moment. We give it up but not that we're giving it up to get away. Like to run away. We want to be fully in it. Even more so. But to be in it, but to not be tossed about by it, to not be ruled by it. It's exhausting. It's exhausting being us. And in that moment, we give that up. I give up this. In that moment, we're out of the way. We're able to put it down and it's going to get taken care of in a more compassionate, more wise and a more skillful way. The Buddha energy starts to flow more and more.

Zen Master E answers the question that we've all had at one point in our spiritual journey - Where do I start? He clarifies and helps to put to rest the matter of practice and of your innate Buddha Nature.
