When mind is tight,
There is suffering.
When mind is spacious,
Liberation can occur.
—Tsangpa Gyare (1161-1211)

An attendee at Real Dharma Sangha’s weekly meeting on September 14 reported (inaudible on recording) that he had experienced in meditation an opening when he stopped “asserting” himself in the practice. In response, Hal Blacker gave a talk on meditation as surrendering, relaxing, opening and, ultimately, breaking through. There was also discussion about the meaning of life, the origin of everything and practice in difficult situations.
