Dharma Talk Notes taken during our Seven Day Retreat in Temecula, November 2003.

Byrdism:
“ My basic belief is that there are two separate healing paths--growing up (psychological) and getting well (spiritual). I believe that these two tracks are constantly confused (we go to therapists for spiritual healing and meditation teachers for psychological healing). They define the fundamental difference of the two great cultures, East and West."
