OQ 304 - Sacred World: Where is "THE" World?

How do we navigate our lives in the midst of uncertainty? How do we bring our deepest intentions together with our actions? What is the purpose of spirituality? How can we accommodate both the beauty and the pain of life?

These questions may never find a definitive answer,
but they are questions to live by.  At OQ we feel that if you have a genuine question you should explore it, continue to ask it, and then pay attention. 

I am Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel, a Buddhist student and teacher. Please join me as I share some intimate and rich dialogues with accomplished practitioners of diverse wisdom lineages.
