Welcome to Insight Retreat Center Dharma Talks

This site is an archive of Dharma talks given during retreats at the Insight Retreat Center in Santa Cruz, CA.

Each talk illuminates aspects of the Buddha's teachings. The purpose is the same that the Buddha had for his teachings, to guide us toward the end of suffering and the attainment of freedom.
