Ten Stage practice means being open to what is really going on in our lives

Ten Stage practice means being open to what is really going on. It changes our experience of the world, along with our idea of ourselves…Everything we need for a practice is present in the moment we are having now…But what is a practice, exactly? For a start, a practice is something you do. It’s not something you have to believe. You can’t be disqualified by ignorance, skepticism, gender, race, lack of talent, geography, or defensiveness. You’re deluded? Not to worry…cluelessness is probably an advantage, since it means you don’t have to get rid of things you are sure about but that aren’t true…No part of your life is too ignorant or too shameful for your practice to enter. You can let it into every corner. It’s not about improving yourself or making yourself wrong…
