"Hi Adrienne - I do receive the messages but don't always have the time to respond. My apologies. I am happy to know you are putting forth questions and reflecting on our practice with us. Many suffer when the family does not participate in sangha and we learn to practice for them. We try to live a beautiful and happy life that they will see and also benefit from directly. They don't need to practice when they can benefit from you solidity." - Kenley Neufeld
