At the Shrine of the Awakened, Ayya Medhanandi

What is spiritual beauty? Kindness, forgiveness, unconditional love? Can we sustain a hallowed inner space that will not be degraded by unkind thoughts? When noble virtue protects the heart at its innermost core, we repair and train the mind to go beyond all brokenness. Relinquish the burden of endless struggle and free yourself with awakened wisdom and compassion. We are a pure clear vessel of unfathomable love. Given at an OBS Retreat, Pembroke, June 11, 2008
