Speaking on a Silent Retreat at Taraloka, she focuses on the evocation of the moment, on compassion and other implicit emotion, on the unworldliness of the poet and on the haiku as a communication of an insight experience.

All this opens a vision of experiencing 'Reality as it is' (Sangharakshita). Samantabhadri also offers guidance on how to keep and respect the silence.
