Refuge is how we connect our heart's deepest aspiration with practices that reveal more tastes of freedom and clarify the path that is good in the beginning, middle, and end.

From the beginning of our practice on, the Buddha teaches that this path has the one taste of freedom. How can we train the heart to become more and more attuned to this flavor of release or letting go? It is the recognition of this trustworthy, onward-leading pleasure that guides the heart along the spiritual path.
