Clear Water Sangha

  • The Light in Each Other

    We see the light in each other. We feel the love of our one heart, and it is a blessing. It brings out gratitude and appreciation, and a real sense of what is truly the meaning of life: to be here, completely, without anything pushing or holding back. The meaning of life is to be…

  • The Realm of Salvation

    Even when circumstance are bombarding or overwhelming you, you always can return right here, and find the flowering of truth within your own heart, your own body, your own being. Always available, always waiting for you to arrive home — infinitely patient, infinitely accepting. This essence that we are is the realm of our healing,…

  • Awaken and Heal

    “When awareness is present, give it all of your love, and surrender to it. Allow it to awaken and heal you. Every moment of recognizing it is really to be honored so that we let go of ‘when’, we let go of that future possibility, and we realize ‘when’ is actually now — only now.”…

  • The Intimacy of Non-Separation

    “What you want on the deepest level is who you really and truly are, already. So how do you allow the unveiling of that? How do you allow the revelation of your profound presence of being, which is the guiding light of life? By not knowing how, by letting go into trust;  by letting go…

  • The Mirror of This Moment

    “Whatever brings you back, right here — that’s all you need, the mirror of this moment. Can you look, and listen, free of judgments and conclusions? What’s in the mirror right now, the mirror of your seeing, the mirror of your listening? Can you just let it be, without knowing what it means; without strengthening the story of…

  • The Movement of Aliveness

    “I like to use the word ‘awakening’ rather than ‘awakened’. ‘Awakened’ sounds like a place that you got to, something you became; but awakening is a description of this emanation of energy and presence that we are — this radiant light of being. It’s a movement; it’s a happening. It’s an energetic aliveness.” Recorded 7/16/2012 in…
