Student Talks: 8/2/2024 - Key Lesson: Only in a sustained conscious awareness of our (own) suffering are we awakened to see, and to know, accordingly, the healing presence of a Divine Light: a living, loving intelligence that reveals and conceives -- all at once -- the possibility of perfect compassion.

Student Talks: 05/2/2025 - For us, death – even as we “learn to live” in its fearsome shadow – seems to mark the end of all that we have known; a looming “last show” when the theatre will be closed, and the final curtain drawn.
