The Art of Harmlessness

We humans share this journey of birth, old age, sickness and death. Sometimes we succumb to fear or sorrow; sometimes we are exhausted or disoriented as if lost on a perilous path. Seeing the universality of suffering and knowing its causes, we ask, “What will set us free?” With the lens of refined moral aptitude, in silent witness, we stop to listen and directly know for ourselves the inner joy and peace of harmlessness. We find safety in authentic refuge. Guided by benevolent compassion and wise reflection, we steer the heart to liberation in Unconditional Love.  A talk given at Sati Saraniya Hermitage, June 30, 2024
