The Buddha is our unexcelled guide on the journey of a lifetime – to the end of suffering. We look within and enter the silence of the heart, leaving behind our ideas, fears, attachments, and identities to discover the treasures of pure presence – an unsurpassed happiness and freedom. A talk at a week-long SIMT (Satipaññā Insight Meditation Toronto) retreat, Chapin Mill near Rochester, NY, August 15, 2015.
