Sister Hai An (Sister Ocean)

Dharma Talk, OHMC Monday Night Sangha

May 18, 2020

Sister Hai An focuses on gratitude as the foundation for generosity. She explores the phrase "A Cosmology of Reverence" and how the way we view the world determines what we find there. When we cultivate gratitude for food and air and water, as well as the more direct ways that we "receive", our whole life can change. And once we know that we are always receiving something, our generosity become a true paramita, a quality that can carry us all the way to the other shore.
