Extinguishing self—
Every day
A brand new sunrise


As we're almost halfway through the Dharma Gates, I just want to offer deep bows of gratitude to Shokai for providing these teachings as well as to everyone that has shared their reflections/responses over the past few weeks. All of your different perspectives have been wonderful lessons in and of themselves.

Gassho,
