From the Teachers

Reality is beyond giving and receiving, therefore receiving is giving and giving is receiving.
~ 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.
Please consider making a donation if you choose to listen to or download any of these files.
