Prayer

Hi.

One evening by the fire, Monkey spoke to the animals:

"Be wary of prayer.
Prayer can sometimes be just another mental noise or expression of a rigid beliefsystem based on blind faith.
It is easy to misuse, but this does not mean we should not pray as prayer can be a very powerful tool.
Just remember to surrender all concepts, including the idea of a higher power that will either reject or accept the prayer."

The practice of creating space

Hi.

One evening by the fire Monkey spoke to the animals:

" This practice is like creating space in a room.
Rather than continuously bring stuff in you should get rid of the junk you don't need, of all that is nonnecessary.
This practice is not about having more, but rather letting go of things and in the process find that which is already there."
