About this episode
This episode explores the concept of finding refuge and safety amidst life's uncertainties through the metaphor of an island in a flood from the Buddha's teachings.
In this second talk of our Nibbāna series, we explore a powerful image from the Buddha’s teachings: an island in the midst of a flood. Through reflections on refuge, belonging, and letting go, we consider where true safety can be found when life feels uncertain and overwhelming. Prompt: When it feels like you’re drowning in life, what is your life raft? Talk segment that complements the sit portion on the Island Within Group Date: 6/9/2026
