…a dream, a phantom, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning…

By DonationResource Dharma Talk

How do we cultivate a life of signlessness, nonattachment, and correct function for all beings? Reflecting on Father's Day we will look at three points of view;
1. Father's Day
2. "Everyday mind is the true way"
3. "All composed things are like a dream, a phantom, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning. That is how to meditate on them. That is how to observe them." (The Diamond Sutra)
