The Dhamma of Snow

The Dhamma of Snow describes a winter snow melt episode and the enthralling insight into how melting delusions gives way to Truth. The remarkable process of our inner transformation simulates that invisible regime-shifting of the snow fields. But our ascent to the Everest of the spiritual realm demands of us a total surrender, a supreme effort to give up attachment. It is the ultimate human journey. We don’t relent even if we feel that daggers have been thrust into our hearts and we face unbearable pain, we keep going.  A talk given during a Satipaññā Insight Meditation Toronto week retreat at the Chapin Mill Retreat Centre, NY, USA in 2014.
