The Middle Way, Woodacre, CA, April 23

“The Buddha’s insight into the middle way is not simply about a balance between extremes. This conventional understanding misses the deeper revelation of the middle way as being the very nature of unexcelled enlightenment. The middle way is an invitation to leap beyond nirvana and samsara and to realize the unborn Buddha mind right in the middle of everywhere.”  – Adyashanti

I rarely reveal my teacher as I feel everyone has their own that will compel them to perceive their pure nature, and one needn’t be influenced by my own choice. This is my teacher. He’ll be speaking at Spirit Rock Meditation Center on April 23 on The Middle Way. Adya, as he’s affectionately known, speaks frequently in the Bay Area, where he makes his home.

“The Himalayas in India and Tibet have no monopoly on saints. What one does not trouble to find within will not be discovered by transporting your body hither and yon. As soon as the devotee is willing to go even to the ends of the earth for spiritual enlightenment, his guru will appear near-by.” – Autobiography of a Yogi, p 138
