The wisdom of conducting both Wisdom and Compassion

I have observed my relationship to Tibetan Buddhism (and Buddhism in general) mostly wax over the past 9 to 13 years, with a little bit of waning.  And in that time, I dove in deep and yet I am still understanding new realizations everyday.  Because I dove in so deep, my current realization does notContinue reading “The wisdom of conducting both Wisdom and Compassion”

Attending Spring Retreat 2012, TMC

ForContinue reading “North Carolina pilgrimage”
