Embracing the principles of the Buddha and the spirit of the begging bowl*, I believe everyone deserves access to knowledge. I am no Zen master, yet I strive to honour this tradition. Instead of empty discounts, I offer Stillness in the Storms on a donation basis, from free to 99. You receive the full course, regardless of your contribution. If you can donate, brilliant. If not, that is fine. Please share this course with others so we may help as many people as possible, whether they can afford it or not.
*The begging bowl tradition dates back to the earliest days of Buddhism when the Buddha and his followers walked with bowls, trusting their community to fill them with whatever food was offered. This simple act represents humility, gratitude, and the shared duty to care for each other. It was never about begging but about creating a cycle of giving that united teacher, monk, and neighbour alike. Through this practice, people gave what they could, and monks accepted with gratitude. The deeper message endures today: we thrive when we recognise our interdependence and share what we have.
