HTC: April 16, 2006 Shownotes

Explore operating from the mindset that abundance allows you feel more empowered and to do greater good! Gesehe Michael Roach, author of The Diamond Cutter, writes, “There is a belief prevalent in America and other Western countries that being successful, making money, is somehow wrong for people who are trying to lead a spiritual life. In Buddhism though it is not the money which is in itself wrong; in fact, a person with greater resources can do much more good in the world than without.”
