Anticipating the end of retreat comes with the desire for (or fear of) becoming. The challenge is to engage with it with embodied wisdom with the tools we’ve been using.
Through practice we form the occasion of goodness, and this occasion forms us, strengthening composure and wisdom. This is the circularity of dhamma, of the process that transcends the specific occasion of retreat.
We can practice by remembering that we participate in a global communion that has been going on for thousands of years, for our welfare and that of others.
