The Buddha never intended to make desire itself the problem. When he said craving causes suffering, he was referring not to our natural inclination as living beings to have wants and needs, but to our habit of clinging to experience that must, by nature, pass away.

Whatever you encounter, may that be part of the path.

No matter what feeling comes up - numbness, irritability, shame - if I let it arise and play itself through, I naturally open into wakefulness and care.

In the collective psyche it is being understood... that we can cultivate wisdom and compassion.

Observing desire without acting on it enlarges our freedom to choose how we live.

That non-attachment gives us the freedom to be exactly who we are.

When we open to love, we become love.
