We sometimes find ourselves at a crossroads in life. Looking for a new

direction, some are attracted to Buddha-Dhamma, with its promise of

bliss, wisdom and enlightenment for those who practise it. The key to

understanding is through developing mindfulness in all aspects of our

lives. But this requires us to be willing to face our demons. By

taking refuge in the Triple Gem - the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha - we

find the inspiration, guidance and friendship to help us overcome all

the obstacles in our path.
