It felt deeply meaningful to start my Saturday morning this weekend by reading quotes at a Gosho study—a gathering of over 100 Buddhist practitioners from the Harlem district. The entrance to the venue was alive with the sound of a beautiful jazz band, setting a joyful and welcoming tone. I was honored to be one of four people on stage, serving as a reader alongside two lecturers who brought the Gosho to life with powerful examples from the modern day.
