    There is no practice like TWIM. I have been doing it for five years now. Practicing TWIM has changed my life. It is important to note that no practice is the answer or a standalone best fit. Something I realised for myself while meditating. Delson is an amazing teacher. His compassionate way of guiding us through this exploration of ourselves is beautiful. Thank you for this.

    Grateful for Bhante Vimalaramsi’s teaching they have been nurturing my path in such a beautiful way. The growth in Dhamma is beautiful to be experienced when love is what is guiding me. I hope the other talks that are available on YouTube can be updated here too.
