This very moment is the perfect teacher, it is always with us, it is the most profound instruction we can receive. Awareness is found in our pleasure and our pain, our confusion, and our wisdom. It is available in each moment of our ordinary lives.
Teachings are only understood when we make them real in our own lives. You cannot learn by just listening, you must put the teachings you learn into practice. Then teach others what you know without reservations. By teaching others, you will learn more.
What good is it to spend your life accumulating material things or conforming your behavior to others conventions? Give yourself up to whatever the moment brings, there is nothing to hold onto. Don’t think about your actions, just let them flow; hold nothing back from life.
When you feel stuck, cooperation with others on a common goal, and with concentration on the goal, will help you dissolve your barriers. If you are free of all selfish exterior motives and are united in this joint task or goal, this can also dissolve the hardness of egotism.
