What is the heartwood of Aryaloka? Dayalocana, Aryaloka's Chair, offers fourteen stories that illustrate the heartwood of the Buddhist Center, it's inner core, strength, and beauty. Celebrating 25 years of Dharma practice, Aryaloka is situated on a street named Heartwood Circle, giving her good cause to reflect on The Simile of the Heartwood, from the Majjhima Nikaya.
