Finding Refuge in your Self Retreat with Jared in Auckland

As we witness the crumbling and shifting of the world order, we can clearly see the instability of our political and social systems. The line between relative truth and lies has become blurred, and it seems nowhere is immune to this instability. 

It may seem unprecedented, but it was clearly described by the Buddha two millennia ago. That all in this world is impermanent. Everything born will die. 

It is logical that anxiety and fear are the appropriate response to this inherent instability, but ultimately this is not true. Deeper than our thoughts and opinions, desires and fears, there is a field of empty, aware, love, that is your nature.

You are invited to find refuge here and now, in your own true nature. To fall into yourself is to be yourself fully, and end any idea of a separate self. Here you find what does not come and go. Here you find the ultimate stability in emptiness, in love, in your Self.
