Stable like a Tree, flexible like a Bamboo
Dharmatalks from Karl Riedl – Retreat with the Israeli Sangha, September 2023
There are times in our life, when we are confronted with overwhelming situations, not knowing what to do and how to handle them. Our conditioned ways do not work, life seems to throw us about, leaving us confused and helpless. We do need a center, something we can hold onto, which gives us a security, a direction in life to act and not to react. This is, where our practice of mindfulness comes in!
Consciousness is the basic quality of our human mind, giving us the strength to step back and see the situation with clarity.
