I'm so pleased and not surprised to see your progression on this path, Bion. You've given so much to TreeLeaf and that effort has nourished your practice in innumerable ways while creating growth in our sangha. I've learned much from you and I look forward to you continuing to share your practice with us. We tend to blow past momentous occasions as we work towards some other project or goal, but please do find a way to meaningfully acknowledge this step in your life (i.e. celebrate!).
Gassho,

I held back from commenting yesterday because, knowing all of you as I do, I was expecting this downpour of love—and I was right. I’m so grateful for it. Thank you, everyone, for so selflessly celebrating this moment with me. Please allow me to not respond to all of you individually.
Just a few weeks ago, we were talking about mudita, sympathetic joy, and here you are, truly practicing it. I love you all and deeply appreciate your kindness. I only ask that you allow me to continue supporting your practice and to keep learning from each of you.
