Gil Fronsdal returns to the BHNN Guest Podcast to discuss letting go, the truth, and the retreat experience.Open the Door of TruthGil begins this episode by discussing the power of retreats. When we are on a retreat, the noise of grocery lists, chores, work, and socializing becomes quiet. This leaves room for the door of truth to open. Sometimes, we do not even realize how distracted we are until we remove all of the variables of daily life. The truth wants to come out, it just needs an opportunity. In the environment of a retreat, the truth can finally surface and things that were buried can show themselves because we are liberated.“I have been (on retreats) reduced to falling on my knees as the truth has seeped in gradually, dawned on me, or hit me over the head with a sledge-hammer” – Gil Fronsdal See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
