    Being Humbled and Empowered by Grace

    The way we cultivate the fields of our minds results in the harvest we experience. This truth is beautifully explored by Rev. WonGong in this enlightening dharma talk. She reminds us that diligent cultivation is good, but we must avoid judgment, as it will exhaust and parch the mind-field we are trying to nurture. Rev. WonGong encourages us to follow the instincts of our true mind and to seek support from the community so we can cultivate a healthy mind-field and reap a beneficial harvest.
