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.
How can we better understand the essential role of wholesome desire in our Dharma practice? The strength and steadiness of determination depends on discovering and cultivating a wise and resonant desire for awakening. Wholesome desire and resolve evolves and matures over the years of practice and becomes a powerful guide and protection as we navigate the twists and turns of life.
