One thought on “Cabbages & Condoms

  1. Thank you so much for making known the work of the onastery in Thailand.
    I especially appreciate your emphasis on the certainty of our own death and how that informs your intentions to ‘get along’ with life and all its manifestations.
    I also appreciate your clarity, the guided meditation and the ordinariness of your application of mindfulness as ‘remembering to remember’ among other things the old part of the brains’s job of keeping us alive at all cost and our heart’s inclusivity and capacity for ease and contentment.

    Gregory writes: “Obviously our Dhamma practices infuse our lives (if not, something is amiss).
