In this talk, Michael addresses issues pertaining to realizing both wisdom and compassion along the Path to Awakening. Even in pain, we are offered a chance at experiencing the volcanic expression of love that is at the core of the Universe's expression of the deep singularity. Issues of boundary, the timeless Now as expressed by Hue Neng, the temporary nature of all things, as well as meditation's ability to sensitize us to life are covered in this lively discussion.
