From the Teachers

The best teaching of all is the one that sheds light on our hidden defects.
~ Lama John Makransky

Our Mission

To empower people with profound contemplative practices that support their aspirations to become better people and to make a better world.

Audios/Videos/Texts

Dharma students traditionally make an offering when receiving dharma teachings such as the audio and video files below. Such generosity empowers our own practice of innate compassion and wisdom while also helping the Foundation for Active Compassion to help others.
