“By listening repeatedly to discussions and discourses on spiritual topics, the path to first-hand knowledge of what has been heard gradually opens out. You know, it is as when water uninterruptedly dripping on a stone finally makes a hole in it, and then a flood may suddenly surge through.” –Sri Anandamayi Ma

Divination with the Zhouyi – new intro class on Saturday, February 27th, 1-4pm
