Dear Thay, For me home is a place where loneliness appears... a place of suffering... if I think of home as a dwelling place. Well, that is what the word and what it refers to feel like for me. But if I think of it as "diipa" (Island or Lamp)... it can work. My mind is interested. Then I have to ask myself, what is this "island"? And how does one get there? It happens that Buddha gave an answer to that (in the mahāparinibbānasuttaṃ, DN 16). In short the diipa, the lamp / island is the satipatthana (the four establishments of mindfulness). The practice of satipatthana is both the island, the lamp, the refuge, and how to get there. Here is the passage of the sutra (it gives the four establishements or foundations of mindfulness in brief, then one can refer to the satipatthana sutra (MN 10) for a detailed description of the practice) : “Therefore, Ananda, be islands unto yourselves, refuges unto yourselves, seeking no external refuge; with the Dhamma as your island, the Dhamma as your refuge, seeking no other refuge. “And how, Ananda, is a bhikkhu an island unto himself, a refuge unto himself, seeking no external refuge; with the Dhamma as his island, the Dhamma as his refuge, seeking no other refuge? “When he dwells contemplating the body in the body, earnestly, clearly comprehending, and mindfully, after having overcome desire and sorrow in regard to the world; when he dwells contemplating feelings in feelings, the mind in the mind, and mental objects in mental objects, earnestly, clearly comprehending, and mindfully, after having overcome desire and sorrow in regard to the world, then, truly, he is an island unto himself, a refuge unto himself, seeking no external refuge; having the Dhamma as his island, the Dhamma as his refuge, seeking no other refuge." So dear respected Thay, do you mean that "to go home" is to practice the satipatthana?

There is no "First Cause" That's illogical. That's a dog chasing his tail
