Nathan Glyde
A meditation, reflection, and (just the) responses to questions on the theme of wise perception: knowing this is a dependently originating appearance. And expanding wise and skilful (right) speech to include not exaggerating or simplifying! Perhaps these alongside other ideas, will support our practice to deepen, and widen to help liberate peace into the world.
