Sat. Sangha: Heart of Remorse-Purifying the Heart w/ Venerable Tejassi 04/04/26

The Buddha often compared spiritual growth to a deep cleaning—like rinsing a stained cloth in pure water or scrubbing gold from a clod of earth. This week, we explore the power of the Conscience (Hiri). Join us as we learn to transform "wholesome remorse" into a tool for purification, opening our hearts to a deeper, clearer wisdom. 00:00 Intro and Bio 06:44 Meditation 36:25 Heart of Remorse Dharma Talk *About Tejassi Bhikkhu A native of Portland, OR, Venerable Tejassī has been a monastic for ten years, starting with a six-year apprenticeship in the Ajahn Chah tradition.
