Awakening at Home

February 2025

 
   
 

Awakening at Home is dedicated to spiritual growth and well-being through study, practice and community building activities. While our core philosophy is Buddhist we draw on all Wisdom traditions to further a freer, richer living experience through everyday practice.

 
 

 

The barn burned down, now I see the moon

 Mizuta Masahide

 

 

When the barn is burning

And animals scatter

Sweep up the motes of star dust

Free from form now

Cradle the frightened animals

And don’t forget to look up at the silvery moon

Even more radiant in the darker dark

And remember who you are
