There are ways to practice virtue, many ways to explain
wisdom, many ways to meditate. Our aim is to present the essential teachings of the Buddhadharma from various viewpoints in a manner that we hope will be of benefit.

"People are often surprised to find it’s difficult to meditate and to understand and apply the insights that arise from meditation. The difficulty lies in the fact that our whole being is totally unprepared for stillness and the insight and peace it brings. But with the support of instruction and a consistent practice, the calm and joy of your meditative mind will deepen and become more stable, not only on the cushion, but also off the cushion in daily life." --Xianyang Carl Jerome
