In this intimate dharma talk, Milo Burn shares profound insights from recent student meetings, exploring how suffering becomes our greatest teacher. Through powerful stories—including the Buddha's encounter with a grieving mother and the metaphor of rowing across life's storms—we discover why Buddhism is both utterly realistic about pain and deeply optimistic about transformation. A raw, honest exploration of the Four Noble Truths and why learning to love our messy, imperfect lives might be the most radical act of all.
Following the traditional intensive "Tangaryo" period of seated meditation, Milo North opens the 2025 three-month retreat at Boundless Refuge. This introductory talk orients practitioners to the journey of extended retreat practice and the path of awakening.

The path opens up when we open to what we are, even if its being just like a Big Baby. May 20th, 2025. Willits, CA
