Whenever we think of the word \u201chome\u201d we often think of a kind of brick and mortar \u201cplace\u201d where we can physically dwell. But in the Buddhist tradition, home or \u201crefuge\u201d is not something we find outside of ourselves, but instead directly within. In fact, it might be said that the entirety of our practice is aimed at training ourselves how to develop this place of \u201chome\u201d right here - in our own minds, bodies, and hearts. In this talk, we explore what are often called the 3 Refuges or Treasures of our practice, and how we can create a place of safety, ease, and belonging by cultivating all three.
