As seekers of truth, we turn the wheel of Dhamma inwardly. There alone can we understand the mind’s purity and directly know the true rhythm of the heart, undiluted by worldly refrains. The sounds of the world can turn coarse and invasive until we listen to the silence in our interior depths. Secluded from life's relentless currents, we traverse the ‘cloud of unknowing’ with the riches of our virtue. Then we shall discover and gain strength enough to fulfill the way of the Buddha – our transcendent going forth through the gates of the Deathless.  A Dhamma talk and guided meditation, Ottawa Buddhist Society, April 2021
