Bearing Witness

I am not prepared to go on hunger strike—it would not be right for my health. I can bear witness, speak out, and donate. What might you be able to do?

Leaving aside whether there is such a state as enlightenment and whether nirvana is enlightenment or its equivalent, I believe one should always question one who promises “the” path and doesn’t just offer “a” path that has served the one offering teaching or access.
Of course, other than potential issues in any community that makes such exclusive promises, one is always free to taste and explore and reinterpret the “the” as “a.”
I went to a two session workshop with Jessica Sandhu at Dupont Circle Yoga today, which, being New Year’s Eve, included an invitation to establish a sankalpa (which is something like setting an intention) and a yoga nidra practice to help instill it.
Then I walked home with the last of the afternoon sun and another spectacular sunset.
