Dharma

that without which nothing can exist
"as it is, so it is"
the law
that which supports us in the same way that a tree
"supports" its leaves


Open

receptive
available to mystery
hearts open to all hearts

open-minded, not relying only on what has already been read, heard, experienced, understood

retreats as a platform where each person can experiment and improvise her or his own unique path

teachings open to people of many different backgrounds, to people with or without religious practice

emptiness, spaciousness, room for everything open state–observing without observer

living for the benefit of all, not only for one's personal needs and preferences

allowing human potential to flower

Krishnamurti:
We hardly ever listen to the sound of a dog's bark, or to the cry of a child or the laughter of a man as he passes by. We separate ourselves from everything, and then from this isolation look
and listen to all things. It is this separation that is so destructive, for in that lies all conflict and confusion. If you listened to the sound of those bells with complete silence, you
would be riding on it--or, rather, the sound would carry you across the valley and over the hill. They beauty of it is felt only when you and the sound are not separate, when you are part of it. Meditation is the ending of the separation not by any action of will or desire.

Meditation is not a separate thing from life; it is the very essence of life, the very essence of daily living. To listen to those bells, to hear [that] laughter ..., to listen to the sound of the bell on the bicycle of the little girl as she passes by: it is the whole of life, and not just fragment of it, that meditation opens.
