Best of Awake in the World: I Saw You Fall, So I Helped (Portland)

In this Best of Awake in the world episode, Michael explores what it truly means to live a life of deep care and openness—how it’s not about needing a title or a badge, but about the genuine commitment to serve others. He reflects on the Bodhisattva spirit, the vow to offer ourselves in service, no matter the circumstances. This lecture is a heartfelt invitation to dedicate ourselves to the path of compassion, to spend our lives discovering how to make that vow come alive in the world. Recorded December 3, 2016 at The People's Yoga in Portland, Oregon.
