Dear friends,
A few days ago, I had the chance to speak with Advaita Vedanta teacher Francis Lucille, and I want to share a deeply moving exchange I had with him. An exchange that may not seem like much on the surface, but is nevertheless the most moving teaching I’ve received in recent memory. It came as a single line Francis sent me over email:
Ninety-nine out of a hundred times you read Francis’ email, it says nothing special. But like a Zen kōan, if it meets you at the right moment and the right state of mind, it can shake you to the core. It did me.
