The following talk was given at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California.

Please visit our website at adioderma.org.

So welcome, folks.

Good morning for most of you.

Lovely to see the names.

And I just posted at the request of some Sanga members

a link in the chat, but also it's in YouTube video description for today.

And it's also on the IMC calendar, posted it with a link to an optional Zoom meeting at 8 o'clock today.

So 15 minutes after this ends, if you want to come say hello to fellow

practitioners, that Zoom room will be open at 8 Pacific time, so in an hour.

And we'll just have a chance to say hello and, you know, for you to talk to each other.

Okay, so let's, let's sit. You know, You know, Thank you. Sensing into where it feels appropriate to

to attend.

We take our cues from the teachings, from the Buddha, from the lineage. But in an important sense, we actually have to bla how the Dharma will incarnate in our life. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You know, You know, You know, You know, Thank you. It's all phenomena as if the Buddha were whispering in your ear to let go.

To not be afraid of silence. Thank you. You know, You know, You know, You know, You know, You know, Letting the silent presence of the Sangha support you, kind of network of goodwill and care. And just to remember how much ordinary goodness there is in the world. Let that soothe your heart. Make the letting go.

Feel the safer. You know, You know, You know, You know, You know, We offer a kind of radical permission for the conditions of our life to be as they are in this moment.

And in another moment, later today,

rest of our life, it'll be wisdom that determines the relative not imply passivity for all time.

It is to cease disputing what has already arisen

disputing what has already arisen now. You know, You know, You know, You know, You know, The

The The

The The You know,
