In the beginning was Creation and then the Fall. Man, woman and all living things. Then there was deception and sin. We are all born free of sin. Sin is a part of life, as is the choice to make a sound and righteous decision. God has given us all these things to survive and be one with him in a relationship that is fulfilling like no other relationship. It is up to us as humans to make the decisions and work toward that acknowledgement from God, well done. Genesis two tells us in detail how God…

When Otto and Rinpoche settle back in at the St. Mary’s Inn, Otto begins reading Rinpoche’s…
