As Buddha said in his first teaching, the root of all our suffering in samsara is ignorance. Ignorance, until we free ourselves from it, can seem endless, and even when we have embarked on the spiritual path our search is fogged by it. However, if you remember this, and keep the teachings in your heart, you will gradually develop the discernment to recognize the innumerable confusions of ignorance for what they are, and so never jeopardize your commitment or lose your perspective.

Noble Sangha,
please welcome one of the Few, one of the Brave;
Elizabeth Wright, Ph.D, as my newest WF Online Student! Warrioress Wright, a former National Champion in equestrian competition, has been a long-time SUNRIDER Herbal Warrioress and got the DL-advertised spot for Online Training. For WF Online StudyPath, she writes;
I found a flyer about this Path in 1982 in Ann Arbor, Michigan was very drawn to the wholistic nature of it. Having kept a light awareness of it for years now, I am ready to work to balance my health, my spiritual and physical practices with this remarkable and unique approach.
I accepted her based on her high degree of non-formal devotion to our humble, powerful, precious Path…Go(o)d Luck along the Steep and Direct Path, EW!
Elizabeth will be introducing herself in the WF SangahLounge soon! Stop by and welcome her!
