We are all born with an infinite capacity for love. As infants, our hearts are wide open, our minds clear and unburdened. We arrive into this world with a purity of perception, fully present, fully alive. But as life takes hold, this openness slowly diminishes. The...
Karma is a concept that has fascinated and perplexed humanity for millennia. In its most basic interpretation, karma is often summarized as “an eye for an eye”—a system of balance where every action carries a consequence. If one harms, harm will return. If one gives,...

In the beginning,
there was nothing.
Then—a mirror appeared.
I gazed,
and mistook the reflection for myself.
I lived among shadows,
confusing echo for essence,
image for truth.
But the mirror,
strange as it was,
besides its unreal display
quietly pointed beyond the glass—
not to itself,
but to the One it tried to reflect.
Then I realized:
the mirror was never real.
Only a dream,
trying to awaken me.
There was nothing to reach for.
Nothing to reach with.
The image was not me.
I am the One being mirrored.
And when I knew this,
the mirror disappeared—
like mist at sunrise.

I didn’t always love my body. In fact, for a long time, I treated it like a tool — something to sculpt, silence, punish, and push. A thing to endure. To tame. To hide. But that’s not my story anymore. Because one day — one ordinary, aching day — I stopped chasing...

There was never a moment when Rigpa was not here.
But somewhere along the way, I forgot.
Not with thunder, not with tragedy.
Just a quiet fog settling in—
soft as breath,
blurring the edge of things without ever touching them.
I slipped a filter between myself and myself.
Not between me and the world,
not even between me and others—
but between me and the simple, shining fact of being.
This veil had no color, no fabric, no scent.
It was made of thoughts.
Of names.
Of stories.
“I am this.”
“I am not that.”
“I should be…”
“I once was…”
“I will be when…”
