Apprenticeship with Peter Ralston

Starting an apprenticeship with Peter Ralston on September 4 2021 would like to get some feedback any words of advice would be appreciated.

I would say never forget that ultimately you are the authority of your understanding of what is true. All perspectives are limited and partial. However, be open, willing and trust the intuition that guided you to such a powerful commitment and willingness to pursue Truth and study with Ralston.

Apparently the Buddha once said the Dharma (Truth) was a vast forest, and what he taught was but a single leaf. Id consider Cheng Hsin to be yet another leaf, but a pretty big leaf!

I do believe this is the last opportunity anyone has to work with Ralston in an apprenticeship format, you are quite fortunate to be able to study with a master like him before he fully retires. May your experience yield deep consciousness and transformation.

Amazing, what will the apprenticeship is going to consist of?

[UnbornTao]

There will be a lot of discomfort and challenges. Your ego-mind will crave distraction and avoidance since at times the work will challenge your self-survival. Remember the big picture, think long-term, throw yourself into it. Think of how much you'll grow.
