What Is Devotion?

Devotion is certainly not worshipping a person or a deity. This is where we become confused about deity practice, Vajrayana, Guru yoga. There are no mysterious transmissions. Such claims are unsound logic that seem convincing, but are misleading.

Devotion is appreciation. It’s a reminder. Anything that helps us to remember mindful conscious awareness is appreciated = a blessing. It could be in the form of a person, a stone, the space we’re in, consumerism, Mara … when anyone speaks … 🙂

Everything is a teacher, a transmission, a blessing.
Humility is without exaggeration,
and with gratitude for any interaction.
