At the center of our lives is silent mind-open heart. When we rest in it, we are able to spontaneously respond to the ups and downs of our lives with ease, contentment, compassion and creativity. Silent mind-open heart is not a state that we create by doing practices or by having faith in beliefs, it is who we are. Yet we often fail to recognize this, so it is necessary to look within to see if it is true. It is also necessary to learn what prevents us from living from silent mind-open heart so that these impediments can be let go.

We are dedicated to this process of discovery. Although there are many paths to silent mind-open heart, we will rely primarily on the teachings of the Buddha as presented in the Theravada Buddhist tradition. Before starting, you may want to find out who we are.

You will find resources on this site to help you in your journey. There are instructions for beginning to explore your inner world through the practice of insight meditation. There is information about local groups that can support you in your practice. And information about retreats to help you further deepen your experience of silent mind-open heart. Please explore the practice page to find these resources and more.

The teachings of others who have walked the path can also be a helpful guide and a support to the process of opening and letting go.  On this site you will find articles to read, other suggested readings and links to other study resources.

It is our sincere wish that this practice will lead you to contentment, compassion and joy in your own life.
