“It is in the act of bowing down that we give up all notions,” says Thay. In this introduction to the practice of Touching the Earth, we are invited to discover how trusting the Earth and surrendering to it can lead to a deepening sense of our true nature. Thay invites us to practice in this way to bring about the possibility to empty ourselves of all ideas, notions and attachments, which, in turn, becomes the best form of replenishment.
