Immediately Available

     “until there is no movement to escape this environment for a better spiritual setting, we will continue to suffer.”

     “The most important understanding … is the immediate availability of awakening. Awakening need not arrive after a long, protracted practice history unless we believe that this is necessary. We deliberately delay our readiness because we are divided about what we really want. We practice until we are tired of preparing for what has always existed here and now, then we become quiet and surrender.”
