      Aug 7, 2020

      The title for this article may make some readers scratch their heads in confusion. That’s probably because we have a negative idea about “condescending.” And yet, once we properly understand what that word means in relation to God, we’ll see that God

      The Deep River of Dharma

      Nov 7, 2017

      Buddhism is like a great river. It is, as an old blues song says, “long, deep, and wide.” The river of dharma has been flowing for a long time: 2,600 years from one point of view, forever from another. Those of us who care about Buddhism’s future in

      These are the mystery sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.

      1

      Jesus said, Whoever discovers the meaning of these sayings will not taste death.

      2

      Jesus said, Whoever seeks should not stop until they obtain. When they obtain, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will be amazed, and occupy the All.

      3

      Jesus said, "If your leaders tell you, 'Look, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they tell you, ‘It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is within you and outside of you.

      His disciples said to him, "Do you want us to fast? And how should we
