How can one destroy attachments as a lay person? We are steeped in the world of attachment, work, relationships, consuming, money, homes, cars, careers, selfing all. Is it even possible to find the light of the truth when so much clouds and colludes to keep it away, hidden behind pretty veils and bright lights?

In the same moment. With interdependence, with no self, with emptiness of all things, and the impossiblity of independent arising, perhaps it is all those things that MUST be here for awakening. What does it mean if you accept that you are the buddha now as you sit. What if you AREN'T flawed but perfect perfect now. Nothing more. And ALL of this, you I the table the cushion the wood floor the siren the wind are buddha, perfect in our perfection, honest in our chaos. Can be nothing other than what we are right now. And wholly are buddha. We cannot be not buddha!

Open open empty your cup. It does no good to with hold. Fear is nothing but future thinking due to dreams of yesterday. If there is no yesterday, there is no fear.
