Saints, spiritual warriors, bodhisattvas, zaddikim — no matter how they are named in a given tradition, they all share a profound altruistic wish to free others from suffering. Saints are not beings of stained glass or carved stone. “Each of us can be a new saint,” says Lama Rod Owens. “In our pain, our trauma, and all our complexity, we all can — and must — awaken the virtue of our compassion for the benefit of our communities, our planet, and our own souls.”

Join Lama Rod as he shares personal stories, spiritual teachings, and instructions for contemplative and somatic practices that reinforces the truth of our interdependency—allowing us to be of service to the collective well-being, and to call on the support and strength of the countless beings who share our struggles and hopes.
