In our last class with Venerable XianPu, we explored how to work with anger.
Not by suppressing it, but by understanding and transforming it through practice.

Encouraging your kids to go to a good university won’t bring them happiness.
Buddhism invites us to look deeper: true happiness is not something we chase — it is something we cultivate.
In this Dharma Glimpse, we reflect on an important responsibility of adults: helping the next generation nourish what is good and abandon what creates suffering.
This is the real foundation for raising happier children and wiser adults.

This Dharma Short invites you to reflect on a kind of inner strength that is often misunderstood.

“It is thus.”
In this new Dharma Glimpse, we explore a direct Chan teaching: the ordinary mind constantly compares and analyzes. Chan invites us to stop dividing reality.
Not Hinayana versus Mahayana.
Not right versus wrong.
Simply — thus.
When deliberation stops, wisdom appears.
