    Spring Washam, a meditation teacher, author and one of the founders of the East Bay Meditation Center in Oakland, California, gives a Dharma talk on taking refuge in diversity: how we can grow through difficulties and how we embrace all of creation.

    Taking refuge in diversity speaks of using our differences not to grow apart but to grow together, and of viewing diversity as a strength instead of a burden. May we all embody this way of thinking so that we may all live in mindful peace.
