Taking Refuge In The Truth

In this talk given to the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, DC, on December 17, 2023, we examine the meaning of 'taking refuge in the dharma,' or finding support and trust in the truth of life as it unfolds. We discuss 1) 'Outer' refuge--where we look to the Buddha's teaching, or the Buddha's 'dharma'--as guidance and support for how to realize freedom from suffering; and 2) 'Inner' refuge--as recognizing our own capacity to wake up, live freely, and untangle ourselves from confusion and suffering. Outer refuge can be looked at in terms of inspiration and inner refuge as transformation.
