It is up to us. Isn't it. We practice or we do not practice. No one can make us. It is our choice. The key question is do we really understand why we practice? Do We? Because if we really understand then surely, surely we will practice. We will really practice #dharma #dzogchen #doweunderstandwhywepractice #practicenow #itissimpleisntit #meditation #mindfulness #yoga #thevalleyretreat #truro #cornwall

Nothing needs to be done but this will take a great deal of practice #dharma #dzogchen #buddhanature #thegreatperfection #practice #now #meditation #mindfulness #yoga #thevalleyretreat #truro #cornwall

No one can help you if you are determined not to be helped. No one can help you if you are determined to hold your ground. Even if holding your ground is the cause of profound suffering. All the teachings point the way but you have to make the way. All the teaching are designed for you, yourself to let go of your 'self'. This must be your determination #dharma #dzogchen #pointingout #letgo #noselfnoproblem #meditation #mindfulness #yoga #thevalleyretreat #truro #cornwall

You do not have to act in any special way unless of course you are an actor #dharma #dzogchen #natural #spontaneous #relax #simplicity #meditation #mindfulness #yoga #thevalleyretreat #truro #cornwall

The middle way is the path of carefree dignity #dharma #dzogchen #carefreedignity #meditation #mindfulness #yoga #thevalleyretreat #truro #cornwall

Our meditation may not give us peace of mind but it will show us the ground of our suffering #dharma #dzogchen #justsit #now #asitis #meditation #mindfulness #yoga #thevalleyretreat #truro #cornwall

With just a little contemplation it is clear that we are not one thing. We are not just anxious. We are not just angry or just depressed. There is no just. When we spend even just a little time being mindful of our emotions we soon see how there is a consistency of change. No mood lasts no matter how perceptionally stubborn it may appear. No thing lasts. So why do we label ourselves and others. What does this labelling achieve. Well in essence the answer is laziness and fear. It is lazy because it is an attempt to end the story. It is fearful as it is attempt to find security. As if I am like this and they are like that then life is simple. Nothing more is needed. A decision has been made. But this attempt at simplicity is incredibly limiting. And yet if we can accept that we are not a thing then freedom is immediatley found. If we see that the thing we cling to as a definition is not solid but rather empty then perhaps this opens the door to further enquiry . And if we are not any of the things that we so deeply cherish then who are We? Now this gets interesting. This gets very interesting! #dharma #dzogchen #notathing #labellingislimiting #whoami #contemplation #meditation #mindfulness #yoga #thevalleyretreat #truro #cornwall

We can always take refuge at the feet of a true master. We can always be free. Love and hate have no meaning. No you. No me. Just come sit under the welcoming boughs. Just come sit in the presence of this gentle old oak tree #dharma #dzogchen #justcomesit #allarewelcome #truemaster #meditation #mindfulness #yoga #thevalleyretreat #truro #cornwall

What are you trying to prove? Who are you trying to prove it to? All compounded things are impermanent. There is no thing to prove. Relax #dharma #dzogchen #impermanence #emptiness #relax #meditation #mindfulness #yoga #thevalleyretreat #truro #cornwall
