  • Her talks make my heart smile:)

    Gaelen’s talk about everything is on fire is just another example of how gifted she is at speaking. It is a very special thing to go to the Houston Zen Center and hear Gaelen or any of their speakers give a Dharma talk.

    It is a lovely place for coming back to now! I’m so happy to have found their podcast so that I can listen to the Dharma talk when I can’t actually be with them. Thank you HZC!

Abbot Gaelyn Godwin : Sesshin Talk 1 : A Bodhisattva's Four Methods of Guidance : Giving
