Greetings on this beautiful morning from a writer’s retreat in the Sandwich Isles. I am visiting Ram Dass and decide to go hear him teach at the Maui Mystic Festival. He is seated like an honored elder under a spreading tree on a blue water, whale watchers Beach outside of Lahaina. The festival camp is inhabited for three days by a temporary tribe of 175 tie-dyed, crystal wearing, loving new-agers. It feels like an eco-reservation for the last remaining hippies, filled with good vibrations, fragrant scents and innocence. Ram Dass uses silence as much as words to evoke sacred presence, a loving awareness of all that is. He looks deep into every eye he can catch with love and wonder and reminds us that we are not our bodies, nor our gender, our race, our role or history. We are souls taking incarnation, born into the mystery of humanity. We are here to learn, to awaken compassion, to remember who we really are.
Wherever you are, join in. Take time today for a few sweet mindful breaths, walk aimlessly for a few steps. Open to a big perspective, invite a sense of wonder. There is an unshakable spirit in you. It is a moment away. Quiet your mind, open your heart, serve the earth and remember what matters in the end is love.
Hi Mr. Konfield,
I am a Burmese who resides in Bay area and will have a monk visiting for Vippassana Teaching early or in the middle of July just for our family. I am always very impressed with Spirit Rock and told him. He is open minded and would like see it. Is it possible to bring him to visit? He is not one of the most famous monks but a very good teacher.
I’d be really grateful if you can email me.
May
