Practice for Average People

Cara Lai

Being in the world is messy. It’s not controlled the way things are when you’re on retreat. In these environments where everything is very controlled, we can see deeply into the subtleties of human tendencies, and let go of patterns that aren’t serving us. But it’s a different kind of deep practice to be in the throes of life, to be in the middle of chaos. When we learn how to be flexible and malleable with our real lack of control, we’re faced with uncertainty and impermanence. And we learn to live with that in a major way.
