The Path of Teaching 

Spiritual practice is radical and far-reaching. It  needs to begin with who we think we are in order to  relinquish “who we think we are.” It is not to be come anyone or somebody or anything. It is to  leave all of it.

It’s rather startling, isn’t it? And it requires practice  to break out of the cocoon of habits and reactions  that we have built. This pointer is quite sobering.

It does not mean to let the dead rot on the side of  the road or pack your bags for elsewhere. Spiritual  practice is more sweeping than a geographical  change of scenery or familial abandonment. It is  an interior shift that is more drastic and more all encompassing.

A Single Thread Priory offers free articles on  spiritual practice. If you are looking for spiritual  ways to practice right where you are, we invite you  to look at the many articles online. Here is the link  to the rest of this article titled: The Path of Teach

Dear Friends,

Below you will find a link titled, The GO ONE. When you are ready, click the link and a PDF will show up. Feel free to print it out. I recommend printing it out. Begin by reading the very last page – The Koan and The Interpretation of the Koan Case 1.

I recommend reading it over and over as each teaching needs to be revealed and taken to heart by you. Don’t waste time by just a quick look…that will not be helpful, useful or skillful.

The pages are 8 1/2 x 11…standard letter size. I encourage you to write down your own thoughts and experience and download and print the booklet.

NOTE: Keep in mind discrimination in this piece refers to splitting and separating in the material realm of the world not the transcendent knowledge. The higher understanding of discrimination is a realization that all this is unreal, ephemeral, impermanent and when you know that, you know the ONE source of our existence.
