Is There a Dissonance Between Sutra and Sutra?

i think what we are looking at here is congruents and context. There are times when it is entirely appropriate to retreat, to have that solitude. And one of the great benefits of sutric practices can open you up to this different perspective. So having some retreat time and and getting used to that can be very valuable. But i think there is a potential an dissonance there if youare fully involved with that kind of frame. The view that is describing an an ideal, or a perfect relationship with others, your emotions, context, that is always the same. That was designed for monastic experience. It was not designed for living a life of relationships and family and work.
