Fresh Starts and Five Hindrances

Date: 2023-01-05 Thursday

In this sit, we’ll focus on a key understanding of the spiritual path, which is that it can be difficult in the beginning, and easy in the end.

In a way this may seem self-evident, because the very purpose of the path is to develop freedom irrespective of conditions. As we all know, conditions are undependable, and often difficult. But actually it’s baked into the very essence of what the path is – encountering obstacles and clinging and freeing ourselves of them – that things will be inherently harder in the beginning.

Fully realizing this is a freedom in itself, and brings with it tools to make this difficult beginning…easier.
