Countless are living beings
I vow to row them all to the further shore
Countless are the poisons
I vow to purify them all
Countless are the teachings
I vow to understand them all
Countless are the blessings
I vow to bow my heart to them all
And though the road is endless
I vow to walk it to the very end
Yes though the road is endless
I vow to walk it to the very end

This week’s topic is “The Steam of a Cup of Tea: Teachings on Generosity, Gratitude and Renunciation”. Can we achieve happiness and wealth by giving? Can we experience abundance through simplicity? In this exploration, we’ll examine how such concepts are possible in today’s world by delving into certain aspects of the 10 Perfections (Paramis), all while embracing our perfectly imperfect nature.
This week’s theme is: A Bright Presence.
Making an effort isn’t always easy; yet, how we show up really matters. Dharma teachings can help to enliven our sense of enthusiasm and energy on the path of practice. This week we’ll dive into different ways of engaging with our life, on the meditation seat and off. From soft delight to sustained dedication, let’s wake up fully with life — in life, and for life.

This week’s theme is: From Suffering To Love
Suffering is a messenger inviting us to include more of this moment with love. Rather than fussing, numbing and fixing, we pause in the midst of reactivity to breathe, come into the body, unhook from stories and feel emotions with love. This allows us to respond to life from love. Suffering returns us to love by showing us what we leave out of its limitless embrace.

This week’s theme is: Why Are We Here?
To gain relief from mental or physical suffering, seeking enlightenment, sangha? As we practice with our teachers, insight can flood our hearts. Still we can feel untethered in daily life. We will explore what part our expectations, inspirations and intentions play. And what actually opens us to the naturalness of meeting this moment with simple, direct wisdom: the ordinarily extraordinary.
