My TeacherPointers to Presence
And what is mind
And how is it recognized?
If I clearly draw
In sumi ink, the sound
Of breezes drifting through pine
Is all that is seen.



My Teacher

What can I say about Francis Lucille? Only that he is my friend and he is my teacher.
The most direct path to Self-realization is the study of Truth, deep meditation and the association with the Guru, the physical embodiment of the living principles of Truth.
No teacher reflects Truth with greater clarity than Francis Lucille. With impersonal compassion, he gently instructs his students and, by his presence, permits them to witness how universal principles can manifest in the human being.
He is humble and makes absolutely no effort to promote his body of work. It is merely available as a service to those desiring further pointers on the path to Self-realization.
Only while we still have them available, you may still obtain rare printed copies of his original Eternity Now, Truth,Love and Beauty, and The Perfume of Silence. These books may not be republished in book form so we reccomend you get them while supplies last. Electronic (Kindle) versions are available through Amazon.
DVDs of Francis Lucille Events and Retreats are available in our store as well as at his website,www.francis lucille.com.
Click here to read about or obtain a copy of The Gateless Gate DVD. This particular DVD is considered a classic by some regarding the sanctity and depth of "satsang". It is a short but famous dialogue between Francis Lucille and a student demonstrating the depth of Francis's teaching, the beauty and role of the teacher in the student's journey and, possibly, even the "power of transmssion", the magnificent silence, sitting majestically between the words, that is the actual teacher.
Individual copies ( DVDs 1-5) of the 5 volume DVD set covering the week long retreat are available in the store by clicking here. You can get the entire set of the Retreat and The Gfateless Gate by clicking here.
These DVDs attempt to capture a bit of the beauty of the retreat location at the residence of Francis Lucille, the intimacy of his events and, even , some of the music performed as the group spends time together.
Francis reflects such humility and compassion that is easy to overlook the enormity of his tireless and timeless gift to us.
He is second to none and those of us who have benefited from his company owe him a debt of gratitute that we will never be able to repay. You can visit his website directly at www.francislucille.com. There you will find information on his work, his retreats and how to reach him directly.
For those who have had the pleasure of spending time with him, Francis frequently refers to the works of Eastern and Western sages. What many do not know is that Francis translated some of the original documents he refers to in his dialogues. Click here to read his translation of Meister Eckhart (The Poor Man: Mathew 5:3), of Shankara (Atma Bodha), and Parmenides (On Reality).

What do you say about the one who points you to where the keys to your prison cell are located? Thank you seems both trivial and wholly inadequate. I urge you to visit with him directly.
