Crossing the stream is knowing the way of true happiness and unshakeable peace.  We have greater freedom from anxiety and we can walk peacefully in life with deeper understanding of how our mind works. To explore the Dhammas of the mind's inner workings is to discover who we really are. Then, we are streaming the Dhamma and we know that awareness is our true nature. It is infinite love developed in wisdom. It steers us across the vast ocean of life through our losses, fears, triumphs, and rewards. Waking up to what we truly are changes us from the inside. For as long as this heart beats, even at the moment of our last breath, we can still love.
