May its light dispel all the darkness of ignorance from the Peak of Existence to the Incessant Hell and illumine all the Pure Realms of the buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions so they are clearly seen.

And this Sunday, July 23, 2021, marks Prajna Spark's podcast's third anniversary. What better topic, to cap off our rebroadcast of popular episodes from the last three years together than what it means to Be True in the context of the Buddha's teaching? These six episodes together form a concise introduction to Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and practice. Revisit the highlights of Prajna Sparks and check in on how beautifully you have integrated the Buddhadharma during our time together.

Talk #3. Lamas Yeshe and Zopa talk with Linda Modaro, Spiritual Director and lead teacher at Sati Sangha, an online meditation community offering daily virtual meditation sittings and online retreats. A secular community of lay practitioners, Sati Sangha is not closely affiliated with a monastic or religious tradition. Their practice evolved out of insight (vipassana) meditation, which evolved out of Theravada Buddhism, which evolved out of early Buddhism. Reflective Meditation: cultivating kindness and curiosity in the Buddha's company, which Linda co-authored with Nelly Kaufer of Pine Street Sangha, is due out early 2023 from Twuhiri. #WhyNirvanaMatters is a series of talks with contemporary Buddhist teachers about Nirvana, peace, and its relevance in our lives and practice of Dharma.
