Open Door is not a business venture

Open Door works in collaboration with likeminded retreat centres who are keen to host our leisure & study programs. 

  • Payments for retreat programs are made payable to the retreat centre hosts directly. 
  • Open Door requests a donation at each event to cover expenses, organisation & subsidies. We are non-profit.

 

We offer subsidies for younger participants and also to others who wish to further their inquiry in this field

K’s teachings are a living thing and the books, I am afraid, are not. No book is. If K dies, what is going to happen to the teachings?
 
Is it going to be repetitive or are there people who have, if I may use the phrase, drunk at the fountain, and who can carry on from there ; not merely quoting K, but getting the spirit of it, the truth of it, the vitality of it, the energy of it?
 
The books are all right, but they remain on the shelves. You pick them up occasionally, look at them, read them and forget them ; and I feel there must be amongst us who have, if I may use the phrase again, drunk at the fountain, and for themselves see the truth and express it in their daily life, and so on, and so on.
 
I think that’s the major issue as far as I’m concerned.
