Donald Rothberg
We continue with our exploration of ethical practice, set in the context of the overall training to awaken.

2015-07-14 Continua of Practice: From Self-Centeredness to All Beings 58:25

Moving beyond what is best for “me” seems so implausible as to be impossible, but it only seems that way because we do not know what we are or how we are formed.
