The Guru is like the rain from the vast cloud of Dharma, moistening our mindstream with goodness. The Guru connects the pure mind, with pure view, to Bodhichitta, the mind of realized Enlightenment; and for that, we offer praise and prayers. Learn about the illustrious teachers who from time-to-time grace our center with blessings and Dharma teachings.

Without the Dharma, without the Guru, without their guidance, the path to liberation is exceedingly difficult to find.

Blessings to all!
