    Guru Rinpoche said, ‘Though my View is as vast as the sky, my conduct regarding karmic cause-and-effect is as fine as barley flour.’  Wisdom and compassion are the two wings that allow our spirits to soar.  Perceiving our profound interconnectedness inspires wise compassionate activity for the boundless benefit of one and all.  In exploring the reciprocity of wisdom and compassion, together we develop character and insightful understanding, deepening our integrated practice and aspiring sacred selves.

  • December 11, 2021- Paramitas: Six, Ten and Beyond 
    Transcendental, transformative virtues of the Bodhisattva, written by PeaceMaster Shantideva long ago elucidated the practices of the awakened spiritual warrior.  Each applied practice of generosity, self-discipline, patience, perseverance, mindful awareness and wisdom is and can be a way ‘in’ to the authentic awakened mind, including the outer, inner and secret levels of behavior, intention-attitude, and mind-states.  How do we discover these transformative practices, these transcendental virtues? Practice is perfect.  True spirituality doesn’t take us away from the world. It connects us even more deeply.

  • April 9, 2022- Spiritual Alignment, Centering: Finding Your Balance in an Off-kilter World
    How to keep our balance, flexibility, openness, and resilience in an off-kilter world?  Balance is not about being ‘locked in’ to position, or finding a comfort zone and staying in it, like a new and cozy rut. Our flow is dynamic responsiveness and loving-awareness,  like the great Tao, like Kuntuzangpo (All-Good), … ever in the zone, assuming our Buddha-seat, making our stand in the groundless ground. Cultivating harmony and alignment, inner silence and serenity even midst the world’s cacophony. Life is too important to take too seriously. Together, let’s lighten and enlighten up!
