Imagining a Sacred World 2023


A Weekend Retreat with Tim Olmsted

BCSS Weekend Retreat • September 2023

“We all imagine a way of being that is more open, free, and connected than what we’re experiencing now. Whether we know it, or not, everything we do is motivated by the impulse to make this possibility a reality. The Buddha, himself, was driven by this same longing. Through his example and the guidance of our wisdom lineage, we can discover a way of experiencing our lives and the world around us as being open, alive and fundamentally good. This is the nature of enlightened vision, the dawn of “‘sacred world’.

Tim drew from wisdom of the great bodhisattvas of the past and, in particular, from the guidance of his own teachers.”

Generosity is the ornament of the world
Through generosity, one turns back from the lower realms
Generosity is the stairway to the higher realms
Generosity is the virtue that produces peace
