Does the Dharma offer hope? Or does it tell us that we should abandon hope?  As we confront terrible challenges in the world, is the Dharma escapist or liberating? Or are these the same thing?  The Dharma teaches us to ease away from grasping at future appearances. But this cannot mean abandoning care and commitment.

We will explore the idea of the Dharma’s refuge, the teaching that “wishlessness” is a door to liberation, and consider how emptiness shows us that hope is ultimately based in reality itself.
