Imagine a worldwide conversation about the things we take to be seriously significant/important/essential to our lives individually and collectively. What matters most? What are the categories of things that matter most–the categories, not the things?
I am interested in why we see the way we do. What makes it easy for us to think the way we see things is the way things are? How can we ever know how things are with the way we see things always getting in our way? What would it be like to see things as they are? In their “Just So-ness?” In their “Suchness.” In their “Such-as-it-is-ness?” Why are there so many different ways of seeing things? What is behind that? How do we get to the bottom of that?
I would like for the world to talk about this to the point of arriving at some degree of realization, and some degree of agreement.

Doing what needs to be done, where, when and, how it needs to be done in each situation as it arises is the most important thing. Everything hinges on that, leads to that, flows from that. That is our practice. Our life. We live to do that–NOT to get our way and have what we want. Unless what we want and our way consist of doing what needs to be done, where, when and how it needs to be done in all times and places.
Can we commit ourselves to that? Can we live in the service of that practice? Every moment of our life?
