This morning, Dewachen created her own puja table next to the WF Temple Puja Table in the Tribal Zendo. She took the picture of Yogi Jesus,placed Elmo-In-A-Boat on top of it, and then carefully placed an Animal Medicine Card (she drew Turtle) next to Elmo.
“We all have the karma to take one spiritual path or another, and I would encourage you, from the bottom of my heart, to follow with complete sincerity the path that inspires you most.If you go on searching all the time, the searching itself becomes an obsession and takes you over. You become a spiritual tourist, bustling about and never getting anywhere. Following one teaching is not a way of confining you or jealously monopolizing you. It’s a compassionate and practical way of keeping you centered and always on your path, despite all the obstacles that you, and the world, will inevitably present.”
– Sogyal Rinpoche
