  • Valuable source

    The talks and commentaries on the Sutta are invaluable and precious. I have been a TWIM practitioner only for one year… and already feeling warmth and love for all living beings.

    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.

  • Gratitude

    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.
