Student Talks: 01/30/2026 - The end of suffering is not found in the pursuit of freedom from suffering, but in seeing through the very nature of desire that generates the suffering to begin with. The problem is not what we desire, but rather our unseen identification with desire itself, and the endless cycle of conflict it creates.

Classroom Talk: 12/31/2023 - Just as the eyes that see the sun cannot understand its light by which they behold the shape and beauty of all things, neither can the heart understand the love that calls it to know and embrace all things. Eye and heart are creatures in time, but Light and Love are not. Even so, they meet; in their union is the mystery, miracle, and fulfillment of our yet realized Divine possibility.

Classroom Talk: 12/29/2019 - Every signpost that seems to point the way to the Holiness we seek must be seen for being the illusion that it is...For there exists no direction in passing time, let alone a doorway seen as outside of us that opens into the Living Now.
