My time at Sangha House NOLA has been a profound reminder that the living Dharma is not confined to one tradition but revealed through compassionate action and mindful community. As a fellow practitioner walking both the Vajrayana and Daoist paths, I found in Venerable Clear Grace Dayananda a radiant embodiment of the Bodhisattva ideal. Clear Grace has been steadfast in service, grounded in wisdom, and courageous in compassion. Her presence and leadership create a field where liberation is lived, not spoken of a sanctuary where practice becomes life itself.
What distinguishes Sangha House is how effortlessly the teachings permeate ordinary moments. The sound of sweeping, the warmth of shared meals, the quiet grace of stillness. Each act reflects the heart of awakening. I abide in a deep respect for Venerable Dayananda’s dedication to collective liberation and for the community that sustains this sacred work. The Sangha’s spirit of sincerity, love, and discipline continues to inspire my own practice to serve beings in need with clarity and compassion.
