Participant: "Thank you so much for your teachings. They've been invaluable to me. I have a question regarding awareness and inquiry. I received my Zen training in South Korea. And in that tradition, the primary focus is inquiry, and my practice of inquiry brought me to a place of recognizing awareness and experiencing it as vast and empty and incredibly silent. And it was very blissful, very blissful experience. And all I wanted to do was just immerse myself in that and my inquiry just went out the window...this past Wednesday in your talk, you talked about how at a certain stage the methodology disappears, and I began to wonder 'is that what happened to my inquiry?'"

Adyashanti: "...If you go all the way with it...at any moment it just sort of drops into what some Tibetan traditions would call 'one taste'..."

About "Already Existing Liberation" (2016):
A profound paradox exists at the center of spirituality. There is a persistent drive to seek liberation, yet this seeking obscures the realization that liberation is already and always present. In this compelling 105-minute talk followed by dialogues, Adyashanti unveils -- and invites us to relinquish -- the pursuit of a particular state of freedom and well-being so that we may recognize the unified reality that is always revealing itself as every form of existence.
Talk Topics Include:
Well-Being Already Exists
What Sustains Wanting
The Illusion of a Freedom State
Seeing Oneness in the Particular
The Virtue of Doing Nothing
Trusting the Unresolved
The Power of Suspending What You Know
Everything Is One Already
Dropping Identification with Oneness
Returning to Wholeness
Q&A Topics Include:
The Impact in Every Interaction
Inquiry after Seeking Dies
Form and Emptiness Aren’t Separate
