Motivation, action EN
Here is a preliminary call to action that was made before 2024. It is from this we named our stupa building group “Before 24”.

This is not the not knowing of ignorance, it is the supreme not knowing of non dualistic mind, where something known and the knowing are not separate. It might also be quite simply an act of obedience. Obedience is fundamental to monastic orders, it is also fundamental to the organisation of the cosmos: matter obeys laws. We obey laws, laws imposed by people and laws that are inherent in the cosmic function. Human laws we have the option to disobey.
