Right now, you have a good boat, fully equipped and available — hard to find.
To free others and you from the sea of samsara,
Day and night, fully alert and present,
Study, reflect, and meditate — this is the practice of a bodhisattva.

Having seen the Introduction a little more than a week ago, I tuned in again for Verse 1 and 2 but don't find any videos. Have they disappeared? Are they supposed to be available? Thanks.

Brief but as always, to the point. With the huge traffic of information that surrounds us and the daily overload of the mind with life, it is good to take one point at a time, study and reflect. Thank you.

There are moments of appreciation for the opportunity to practice although admittedly they are fleeting. In thinking about the time spent in actual practice on the cushion, it occurs to me that it's not about the amount of time but rather quality of that time spent in mediation. The quality of my meditation needs constant attention and assistance. Your teachings are helping in this.
