“O Nobly Born” the Buddhist texts begin, remember your Buddha Nature. Remember your innate capacity for dignity, understanding and vast compassion. These gifts were born into you. Discover how the beautiful qualities of Buddha Nature can become alive for you, in your heart and the way you live.

This series of inspiring talks discuss the awakening of the qualities of Buddha Nature, traditionally described as inner perfections. Through these teachings and practices, you are invited to bring alive and embody the virtues of the heart, lovingkindness and steadiness, compassion and wisdom.
