Gift Of This Moment

The Buddha and all teachers who followed after him are our inspiration and our great teachers. Let us thank them by embracing the practice. Let us have the courage and wisdom to find ways to find the time and support needed to do extended retreats.

We are all sentient beings and all sentient beings are us. Liberation is in the doing; the doing is in just this moment. Never underestimate the tremendous gift that is this moment. Respect our need to rein in our everyday habits and arrive at the place of diligent training.
