Remember that your ‘True Home’ is not found outside yourself, but it is right in your own heart. We do not need to bring home anything for us to feel fulfilled. We have everything we need, right in our heart. We do not need to practice for many years or to travel far to arrive at our true home. If we know how to generate the energy of mindfulness and concentration, then with each breath, with each step, we arrive at our true home. Our true home is not a place far removed from us in space and time. It is not something that we can buy. Our true home is present right in the here and now; if only we know how to return and to be truly present to it.

Thanks Karl for a beautiful Christmas message and photo, and all your inspirational posts during the year. I’m a fairly new member to the site and I thoroughly appreciate all the diligent effort you put into these amazing doses of wisdom. Have a great day.
I love this posting. I am in deep crisis with no end in sight. Surely these words will guide me towards healing.
