Gone Forth, Going Beyond

A book of Ayyā Medhānandī’s Dhamma reflections from 1996 to 2007, published in English and Mandarin, 2008.

“We do not know what laws are at work here. These pains we endure may purify some dark karma to release us from them forever.

In the very depths of pain, a greater strength of spirit is born, more than courage, more than patience, more than ordinary love – one that makes us resilient.

Maybe that’s the hidden blessing of this suffering as of all suffering if we allow ourselves to be changed by it and surrender to it even when that feels impossible.”
