The hard Work of the dharma
The Dharma is getting up when you’d rather stay down. It’s the discipline to sit, the patience to keep at it, and the willingness to fail without giving up. Now and then, you catch a glimpse of what’s possible—flashes of clarity, of real, deep ease.
But the real test is coming back—over and over—to one sit, one act of restraint, one uncomfortable moment at a time. No shortcuts, no guarantees. Just effort, and the quiet truth that it pays off.

Flightless Bird explores incarcerated firefighters, talking to former inmate Matthew Hahn who signed up to fight fires when he was serving time.
Equanimity is the quality being cultivated from the very beginning of practice, from the first time a meditation teacher invited us to bear witness to our experience "without judgment or reactivity".
This is not your average sobriety story. Matthew Hahn was a meth-addicted burglar who thought he’d just pulled off the heist of his life. Then he cracked open a safe and found a memory card.
Loosely, the goal was to offer a practice guide framed around the triple gem - the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha - using language that more closely aligned with familiar understandings of the Buddhadharma.
Pain, in its myriad forms, is often the entry point for practice. Tragedy and heartbreak, discontent and unease, something among these inspires us toward something different. The Buddhist path offers a path out of the pain by transforming our relationship to it.
