Living from a place of calm, alert presence that doesn’t allow us to avoid anything untangles the knots of Karma. In tonight’s talk, Michael explains how we can learn to change our relationship to what gets us caught in life’s tangle. We get our inspiration from knowing that every single awakened being has gone through the same climb as we are engaging in presently. And at some point, our adventure becomes more important than the baggage we’re carrying.

While in a monastery in Nepal, Michael learned to drink around the leaves of the unstrained tea he was served. What Michael discusses in tonight’s talk, among other things, is how we can learn to relate to what floats around in our lives. He goes on to discuss the Four Noble Truths and how they can continually help us stay on track in our practice.

Stillness, quietude and openness are key to any authentic practice. Once we practice these three qualities, according to what Michael tells us in tonight’s talk, we begin to realize a purification that helps us recognize what it means to let go into the Emptiness that is Everything. In purification we make ourselves ready for what stillness offers and free ourselves from the tangle that is called karma.
