Can we stay true to our spiritual aspirations and fulfill  them without compromise? Keep remembering and applying the Buddha's instructions to protect virtue, trust the practice and commit to this noble search and rescue. We hold the reins to free ourselves from life's inevitable trials, so let us see the way to emerge from unfathomable darkness with our compass of wisdom. Here and now, awareness ripens the heart in joy, compassion, and blessing. Satipaññā Insight Meditation Toronto retreat, 2015
