—The Buddha
Join this exploration of the Buddha’s Discourse on The Eight Realizations of Great Beings.

This practice and study session is designed to inspire your meditation practice and post-meditation experience with a sense of great confidence and joy—and to remind us of the enduring power of the dharma to shape our lives for the better.
