The Essence of Wisdom and Compassion: Blazing in the Fires of Sunyata

From Adhisthana on Tue, 13 Jun, 2017 - 23:16

The theme of today has been the connection between metta and wisdom - the realisation of metta.

There is an aspect of seeing into the truth of things, where ultimately there is no knower, or known, or act of knowing, just...
