Open the Gates to the Deathless, Ayya Medhanandi

The Eightfold Noble Path is the Buddha's map to freedom. His directions how to proceed are precise, rigorous and breathtaking – the better for our faith and diligence. Though we may falter or feel unworthy, we discard delusion of a self – the better for purifying our hearts. Wise, sure-footed and joyous, we open the gates to the Deathless.
