“Radiate boundless love towards the entire world — above, below, and across — unhindered, without ill will, without enmity.” ~ The Buddha
(From the Karaniya Metta Sutta)
Newsletter #2: August 2021
Dear Friends!
We send prayers of comfort, and encouragement, and hope that you are all safe and healthy during this ongoing pandemic.
We are very excited to share our latest wisdom blog about the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination. This blog was written as an addition to the Second Noble Truth, which was written in two parts. It was truly a labor of love, compassion, listening, and learning in order for us to finally publish this piece. Phuong and Christina spent many, many, many hours discussing the intricacies of this very complex Buddhist teaching in order to unravel its deep wisdom. Please send us your thoughts and questions about this multifaceted text.

We also published a translation of “BỐN ĐIỀU PHẬT KHÔNG LÀM ĐƯỢC” or "Four things Buddha Cannot Do” - This simple conversation between the Buddha and a disciple explains our responsibilities as individuals due to the nature of Cause and Effect, Wisdom, and Karmic connection.
