Real home

Your external home isn’t your real home. It’s your supposed home, your home in the world.

As for your real home, that’s peace. The Buddha has us build our own home by letting go until we reach peace.

– Ajahn Chah, Theravada, Thai Forest Tradition.

I'm a Buddhist layperson, trying to live well and skilfully with compassion, generosity, and discernment. I work in the field of housing law and homelessness casework. I have a beautiful kind wife, a very cute dog, and two loveable but surly cats.
