Tea Serkyem offering: Generating the merit for Compassionate Activities — especially for protection from sickness and other obstacles

Without activity, there is no safety for practicing. We immediately think of the Mother of Activity, […]

Our teachers also push hard on “purification practices”: in Therevadan Buddhism often characterized as the […]

What Are We? The Body is the Channel — Energy and consciousness are enmeshed principles in Tibetan Buddhism
What are we and what are our limits? An answer arrives when we make contact with the nature of energy and consciousness embodiment.
