Summary: Episode Description: This session continues where the previous left off, with Roshi Bernie taking a number of questions from the participants. The first question concerns Indra's net, which leads Bernie into a discussion on the possibility of escaping the space-time continuum. The next question concerns "going deeper and deeper." Which for Bernie means going "broader and broader in that energy field." Other questions include "how do Buddhas hate the world?" and "what does it mean to defame the Dharma?" Bernie goes on to discuss the Street Retreats that he has lead since 1991. Providing some wonderful insights into the experience of being on the street as well as some practicalities which shape the logistics of holding the retreats in a safe manner.
