There is a space between craving and its fulfillment, and that space is the altar of our practice. This talk explores how the practice of mindfulness bridges that space and expands our capacity to stay in the present moment. For it is there, only there, that we can fully comprehend suffering, realize its end and cultivate the Eightfold Path.

The greatest truths we forget, and one of them is that if we don't love the life that is right here--what we perceive as self--we are unable to embrace our world. This talk explores the suffering of turning on ourselves and the deep freedom that arises when we commit to relating to our inner life with loving presence.
